Let’s be honest. If you combine cream cheese, cheese, LOTS of bacon and a handful of seasonings, the end result is always going to be good. But OH MY GOSH. This is beyond good. This dip is a Snack Monsters’ dream come true. It is everything you love and dream about dips. It is gloriously smooth and creamy. It’s at its absolute best warm (that stretchy cheese, all that stretchy cheese!) but it’s still absolutely lip smackingly delicious at room temperature. And all that bacon!!! Bacon throughout and bacon on top…
This bacon cheese dip itself is super fast to make, especially because I melt the cheese in the microwave. If you aren’t using a bread bowl like I have, then it’s a dip you can make in 10 minutes flat. But I love serving this in a bread bowl because it just looks so fantastic and it’s always fun to see how excited everyone gets when they start tearing into the dip soaked bread!! No one ever waits until the dip is finished before the bread carnage starts. Is it just me who hovers around, wondering how soon is too soon to start ripping off bits of bread? ;-) I like to top the dip with crushed crackers before popping it in the oven because it protects the top from drying out, as well as adding texture to the dip. But you could just as easily use panko breadcrumbs instead if you prefer. I contemplated whether to add dill pickles into this because I think the little pops of tang will complement this really well. But then I remembered that the last recipe I shared here on Spend With Pennies was a Creamy Dill Pickle Chicken so I thought I had better opt out of back to back dill pickle recipes!
