Braunschweiger Dip – Turn braunschweiger into a creamy dip that is great on crackers or bread and perfect for the center of your holiday spread.
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!

How To Make Braunschweiger Dip

- It is best to soften the cream cheese and braunschweiger so that you can mix them easily.
- Depending on how your braunschweiger is packaged, make sure to remove the outside wrap. It is almost like a casing, but not quite. Either way, you don’t want to eat it.
