How To Make Cream Cheese Bacon Dip:

Mix up your bacon and cook it up; fry it in a small pan. This will be a baked dip, so cook the bacon, but don’t overcook it since it will bake in the oven more.

Once the bacon is done, drain it of grease and place the bacon to dry on a plate with a paper towel.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and spray your baking dish with a nonstick pan; I used a Rachel Ray 1.5-Quart Dish to make this. I love her cookware also doubles for serving dishes.

In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. I used a spatula to mix it. The cream cheese took a bit to blend in well.

Add into the bowl your bacon, parsley, and minced garlic to the mixture and combine well. 

Next, add a 1 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese into the mixture and mix it all well together.  

Spray your dish with a nonstick spray.

Use a spatula to put the dip mixture into the dish and smooth it out evenly.

Top the dip with the last 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.

    Jenny Jenny Jenny-How am I supposed to eat healthier with scrumptious recipes like this Bacon Cheese Dip? It Looks Sooo Good! I want some Now!

  2. looks great I think I will make for Christmas for those that can’t wait to eat. Here is one that is so simple. 1 softened block of cream cheese and 1 bottle of Pic A Pepper Sauce. Just pour over the softened cream cheese let it flow over the sides and ends as much as you want, it looks like chocolate running over it. It is soooo good,
