Just mix a package with sour cream, very simple and a recipe from the 50's I
think, but my kids love it and it's something that's always here for
holidays. If you make your own, I think you could just add to taste with the
sour cream. Here it is in two envelopes per package, and I use one envelope
for the dip.
