Warm Italiano Spread

I came across this recipe in a monthly email I get from Kraft.


It looked so good that I ran out and picked up the ingredients to make it that day. I can see making some variations of this, such as using Velveeta instead of the cream cheese, topping with shredded cheddar, and using jalapeño pesto, served with tortilla chips.

3. Place open-faced on grill for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
