WARM BACON CHEESE DIP
What I love about football food is that no one judges it. I mean if Pigs in a Blanket aren’t the most humble food you know, I don’t know what is.
It doesn’t have to be pretty. Hands are the preferred utensil. And you don’t find people standing around the food table mentally calculating calories and serving sizes. It’s just about down and dirty, full of flavor food.
This Warm Bacon Cheese Dip is just that. Nothing in this world can beat soft sourdough bread scooping up warm creamy dip filled with bacon and cheese. I mean really. Beat that.
My family claimed it as an instant favorite. It spends an hour in the oven, gently warming up and teasing your tastebuds with its aroma. The bread gets slightly toasted and the dip gets cheesy and warm.
This dip has bacon, onions, cheese, and is seasoned perfectly.
Hollow out a sourdough round saving the inside pieces to use for dipping. Please use sourdough. The texture and taste just can’t be beat by anything else. Fill the bread with your creamy mixture, wrap in heavy duty foil and bake on a low heat for an hour.
Um…it’s addicting. Try to stop eating it.

Notes
You had me at *BACON* !!! Seriously, I am known as the Queen of Dips in my family as it’s my favorite thing to take to family gatherings. After all, who doesn’t love a good dip and this one is AMAZING!!! I am gluten free and keto so I skipped the sourdough bread and baked it in a casserole dish, served with pork rinds, keto crackers and sliced veggies. This dip will definitely be making a return at future gatherings – and for myself to snack on at home!
Thank you!
Why do you make itSo hard to get to recipe???
There’s a jump to recipe button at the top
Best dip everrrr! I’ve been making this for a long time your recipe and I have been asked multiple times for the recipe. Getting ready to make it now for Christmas Eve & fridge before baking it on Saturday! Thank you- Thank you, and Merry Christmas!!
Thank you! And Merry Christmas!
Incredible dip. Many comments at dinner 😍.
Thank you!
Hi, can I make just the inside recipe and freeze it until I want to serve.
Yes, totally!
This sounds so delicious!! Dips are always my favorite. Pinned!
This was a very good hit for our company everyone ate, even the bread was eaten. We cut the shell in pieces. Giving this 5 star!
Thank you! One of my favs.
My new go-to app (sans onion). Raves all around! 10 out of 10!
Would this work in a small crock pot?
I don’t see why not?!
Could you make this in just a casserole dish with the same cooking instructions? I’m not a huge fan of sourdough bread and thought it’d still be good in a casserole dish!?
Oh yes! It would be great like that.
I made this for a party this afternoon and it was the first dish emptied. Awesome dip!
Woo-hoo! Love that.
Hmmm, just one bread bowl doesn’t make enough. I’m thinking I’ll double the recipe, bake it in a casserole dish and serve with sourdough toasts.
Really? I used a 16 ounce bread bowl and it was a perfect fit.
Hello from Iowa :))
This dip looks wonderful ! What are the yummy crackers that are shown by the bread bowl?
(Go vikings) !!!

Just some I had from a gift basket. Sorry. That’s weird I know.
This is everything I have ever wanted in a dip!
Wow – sounds really good. Thank you.
It’s that time of the year when it’s dip dip dip. Football—-holidays—-regular dinner parties—potlucks.
And who doesn’t love bacon?
Could you just mix the ingredients and serve cold??
Didn’t try it?! Maybe?
I just made this for game day & it’s delicious! Huge hit! Thank you for the amazing recipe.
You’re welcome!
Oh my goodness does this bring back memories! I love this dip, it’s so delicious and I made it at least more than 10 years ago!!! OK I had to go look it up and it was a contest winner and originally published in TOH in 2003, so i’m sure that is when I made it last, 11 years ago! I must have lost the recipe but I have definitely thought about it more than once over the last 10 years. Thanks for bringing this back, this is definitely going on my next get together for whatever menu and I won’t lose this again!!!!!
Haha. How funny!!
Haha. How funny!!
I am a Packers fan & was sad that we lost last nite, but the Seahawks do have a good team. This dip sounds yummy! thanks for adding it here.
You’re welcome. Sorry about the loss 🙂
I have this in the oven right now! My husband has been really excited all week to try Little Caesar’s pretzel crust pizza so I’m making this to dip the crust in:) Since it’s just the two of us I cut the recipe in half but it smells delicious!!!
I’m coming over!!
Oh my goodness, this looks and sounds like heaven!

Oh baby, I can smell it! xoxo Celia
Sounds yum! I make an awesome dip like this in Australia called a cob loaf. Use sour cream, bacon, cheese, onion and curry powder. Tastes amazing!
Go Seahawks! The game was great. This dip looks even better. Will have to use it for the next Seahawks game since I didn’t check my emails early enough. But anything with bacon has to be great. Will let you know how my family likes it. : ) Thanks!!!
