Doesn't anyone taste before they serve? A little more of what you like, a little less of what you don't like works well. The basics are there and they are tasty.

I made this recipe because my dad LOVED Paula and this recipe didn't disappoint! WE both LOVED IT! I didn't have enough ingredients to make the recipe for House Seasoning so I just used salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste and it turned out AWESOME! Neither my dad nor I thought it was bland AT ALL! I guess if it's bland just add a little more salt, pepper, garlic powder. It's your recipe folks! Make it to YOUR taste! I think the most important thing about this dip is letting the flavors marry together for at least 4 hours. I can't imagine anyone making a blended dip and serving it immediately. Thanks for the wonderful recipe Paula! I've decided to make this dip again for my family reunion coming up in a few weeks! I KNOW it will be a huge hit!!!

We love Paula Deen, but we found thi recipe to be bland... it tasty just like whipped cream cheese. After, we added lemon juice, a touch of hot sauce and let it sit over night, it came out really yummy!!!
