Creamy Bacon Dip

I wanted to share this recipe because it is A-MAY-ZING, super easy and you will just love it (and it will disappear like lightning!)

Here was the inspiration for my dip:

I actually saw the recipe on Pinterest and it has been on my “Foooooooood” board for awhile.  What is Pinterest, you say?  Read here for my blog post about that

As you will notice, that recipe calls for ham… Well I know around here we LOVE some bacon, so I substituted bacon and bumped up the spice a little bit and made mine like this:

CREAMY BACON DIP

16oz sour cream (I used Daisy light)

8oz cream cheese, softened to room temp

2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1 pack of bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled

3-4 green onions, chopped

1 tsp hot sauce (I used Tabasco)

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

salt

pepper

French bread loaf
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, except French bread; stirring until well blended.

Using a gentle sawing motion, cut vertically to, but not through, bottom of the loaf, 1/2 inch from the edge, to cut out center of bread. Lift out center of loaf. Fill hollowed bread loaf with the dip. Wrap loaf with foil.

Bake dip at 400° degrees for 45-min to 1 hour.  Open top of foil and broil for a few minutes until top is golden & bubbly.  Serve with Crispy bread, crackers, fritos, or potato chips.

I combined all of the ingredients last night and baked it this morning so I could bring it to work this morning for our Thanksgiving luncheon.  I didn’t take a picture before everyone started trying it…. Hey, it has bacon in it so it’s for breakfast right???

Well this is what was left by 9:30 a.m…….

an empty French Loaf!

You simply must try this dip at your next event, you (and the people who eat it) will be so glad you did
