This Smokey 4 Cheese Roasted Red Pepper Dip is a super easy recipe for a quick and cheesy appetizer, with a hint of smokey goodness that is sure to please any crowd.
Some things are just too amazing to even describe.
This recipe, you guys, is one of them.
I got the original recipe from here, and it was ridiculously simple. I made it a number of times for get-togethers over the last year or two and it was always a big hit.
I’m going to attribute its high marks to the smokey, sweet, and salty thing going on here. The smoked cheese with a little smoked cheese, and smoked paprika combine perfectly. The sweetness comes from the roasted red peppers and all their caramelized sugars. And finally, the combination of cheese brings the earth and salt. You really can’t ask for much more from a humble handful of ingredients.
I opted to go the smokey route because I had quite a bit of leftover smoked gouda hanging around. You remember this recipe right? Yeah it was good, I know. I’ve made it a lot recently so I bought smoked gouda in bulk (foodie problems right?) Anyway, I had an event to go to and I couldn’t help but think how good the smoked gouda would be in this dip, with the smoky red peppers and ooooo what if I add a bit more smoked paprika as well?
Sometimes my own genius surprises me. It was AH-mazing. And it wasn’t just me who thought that either.
Smoky, gooey, and cheesy with just a hint of sweetness. I mean what more do you need in a dip here people?

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me as much as this particular one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I truly thought you would have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
Excellent web site you have here.. It’s hard to find good quality writing like yours these days. I seriously appreciate individuals like you! Take care!!
