I gave it a 4 for the ease in preparation. It just seemed to lack the WOW factor.

I too have served this dip at every Christmas, also adding chipped ham or chipped beef, and serving in a round rye bowl and breaking the remainder of rye and also pumpernickle. First time I ever made it I mistakenly used miracle whip (ouch) you must use real mayo for this recipe, and if you do not like dill, cut it out completely. Either way this is a traditional recipe in my family. Note: to fill a round rye or round pumpernickle bread bowl, you deff need to double the recipe. I place the bread bowl center of large platter and surround with Dark pumpernickle and light rye broken bread chunks.

My son requested this recipe for Thanksgiving (he just came back from Iraq). Only thing I changed was adding 1 pkg dried chipped beef. It was a huge success - he and his buddies loved it. Will definitely make it again and again. Will become a holiday recipe tradition.

YUMMY! This dip is so versatile - veggies, chips, crackers - it works with all of them. It was helpful to read in another review that the Beue Monde seasoning was a Spice Island or I would have searched forever. This is an absolute keeper!!

Great but unless you like dill a lot, you may want to add it last and see if you like it better without. The dill did make it taste mostly like dill. FYI - Beau Monde spice is made by a company called Spice Island...the Publix managers helped me find it because I didn't know Beau Monde is not the company name. Also this recipe is not a very large one so I doubled it for a group of 12.

This is a great dip for any occation. The way I've always known it to be served is in a round loaf of pumpernickle bread hollowed out (like a bowl). Must also have another loaf of sliced pumpernickle to tear up and pile up round the bowl for dipping.

We love this dip! I'm adding it to my holiday menu as an appetizer. I also tried making it with some finely chopped water chestnuts and green onions. I did have a great deal of difficulty finding this spice blend. The brand name of Spice Islands isn't readily available in stores in NJ. My daughter had to send it to me from Florida. But we still love it.

Very tasty. I think the next time I will use all sour cream - I am not a mayo lover and didn't really care for the mayo tang.

This IS great with potato chips. I buy Beau Monde seasoning just for this dip. Also good served in a hollowed out round sourdough loaf with the pieces of bread from the center for dipping. Best if you make it ahead of time so the flavors can blend.

I remember this (70s-80s child) growing up and needed to make it for MY mom now that I'd found it! The taste is so distinct, I feel like I'm in a time warp.
