  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt or 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • Tabasco sauce, to taste

  3. Spread the mixture into a lightly greased, small-to-medium-sized baking dish.
  4. Top the mixture with grated Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with paprika to taste. (You can substitute ground ancho chile powder for paprika if you prefer more kick.)

  7. Serve the dip hot or warm with crackers, bread, or raw vegetable dippers.
