Touch Down!! Dip
Every Sunday the family gets together to watch Jaguars football and chow down on some seriously good food. Dad has a 12 foot screen which is perfect for football (even when the Jags are sucking!).
This week I made a gooey cheese dip I call Touch Down!! Dip to accompany our meatball subs, fruit and veggie platter, and scrumptious sandwiches.
Ingredients:
8 slices of bacon 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1 8 oz package of cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Monterrey Jack Cheese or Mexican Blend Cheese 1 dash of cayenne pepper 8 Ritz Crackers
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, cook 8 slices of bacon until cooked thoroughly.
Once the bacon cools, trim off any excess fat and feed it to your pups.
Combine mayonnaise, cream cheese, cayenne and grated cheese in a medium sized bowl with a mixer.
Spread mixture into an 8x8 pan. Crumble 8 Ritz crackers on top of the mixture. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Place chopped bacon on top of the dip and serve with corn chips or crackers.
This cheesy bacon goodness is perfect for any football game. I prefer to eat it with Ritz crackers rather than corn chips. It is also good with a touch of sweet Thai chili sauce added to it. You may choose to add onion to your dip as well. Enjoy!
