Braunschweiger Dip – Turn braunschweiger into a creamy dip that is great on crackers or bread and perfect for the center of your holiday spread.
This Braunschweiger Dip has been a staple in our family for years to have in the fridge during the holiday season. My Mother-in-Law introduced me to the recipe, as it was something she grew up with and made most of her life
If you are from the Mid-West than you probably grew up with Braunscheiger as part of your holidays. My grandpa used to actually just take slices of braunschweiger and put it on bread as a sandwich!
Then I met my husband and his mom makes this dip every year at the holidays, and the family just goes crazy for it!

I remember making a version of this dip. I mixed the liver paste with a packet of onion soup mix and frosted it with the cream cheese .
excited to try this will be adding a bit of hickory liquid smoke and fresh grated garlic mix those two ingredients into braunswaggie (our name) then let marinate rewrapped in plastic wrap to reform then eat with crackers or crostini bread. Or we will slice and fry it for sandwich with stone ground mustard. Nice to see an old style favorite. thanks for sharing got it on my shopping list .
