Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Chill the dip overnight if desired.
- Fill the bread bowl with the prepared dip.
- Chop bagels into bite-sized pieces and serve alongside the dip.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If you prefer a bit of spice, add some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce. You can substitute chopped chives for parsley or dillweed based on your preference. This dip can also be made with leftover corned beef from meals like Corned Beef And Cabbage(Makes Full Nesco).
Serving Suggestions
Serve the dip with an assortment of dippers like bagel chips, fresh vegetables, or pretzel bites for a fun presentation. This dip pairs beautifully with bagels cut into bite-sized pieces, making it a perfect appetizer for gatherings. Consider serving alongside other American recipes or dishes like Traders Pie to create a diverse spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The bread bowl can become soggy if filled too early; consider filling it just before serving. If you have leftover dip without the bread, it can be spread on sandwiches or served as a topping for crackers.
