Football Friday: Bacon Dip

Cool Dads love few things more than bacon. And pairing football and bacon together seemed as natural as peanut butter and jelly. So, when the Wisconsin Test Kitchen found a recipe for bacon dip, it was on! 

Bacon Dip
Recipe courtesy of: http://kitchenmeetsgirl.com/gooey-cheesy-warm-bacon-dip/

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups sour cream (we used Greek yogurt)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup sliced green onion (we had some jalapenos left over from the stuffed jalapeno poppers we made a few weeks ago, so we chopped up 2 of them and used them instead of onions).


Preheat oven to 400 F.
Combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon and green onion. 

Spoon mixture into a 1-quart baking dish

 Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and hot.
Serve with bread slices, crackers, or veggies.
