Cheese and bacon – what is wrong with that??  Big hit at game day yesterday!  True confession time.  I used a chunk of leftover cheddar-Colby and a chunk of leftover Gouda with Fenugreek.  Bet any cheese would be good.  Next time, maybe Swiss/Jarlsberg or smoked Gouda.  

Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese , softened (The soft cream cheese works)
• 1/2 c sour cream
• 1/2 c mayonnaise
• 10 slices bacon , cooked crisp and crumbled
• 3 dashes hot sauce
• 4 Tab fresh parsley
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 2 c shredded cheddar cheese , divided
• 4 green onions sliced thin.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine all ingredients reserving 1/2 cup of cheese for topping.
3. Place into a (2 quart) casserole dish or pan.
4. Bake 25-30 minutes or until hot & bubbly.
5. Top with remaining cheese.

Serves:  8  (Who knows with a dip??)
