Quick and Easy Bagel Spread

Not only is it a meatless dish which always leads to big savings, but it makes an excellent portable picnic lunch or appetizer. I picked this recipe out for a camping trip last weekend when I was looking for recipes that transported well and required minimal refrigeration.

But it is the few additional drops of tobasco sauce that really marries the flavor and brings it to the next level. Don't be disuaded if you do not like spice. It doesn't add much heat, just a little smoky tanginess that would be incomplete without it.
