Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Dip . . . this warm and creamy dip has plenty of bacon and cheese, and just the right amount of heat.Perfect for game day or any gathering!
If you need an appetizer that is perfect for Game Day, look no further. I mean, you can’t get better than bacon and cheese together can you?
This cheesy bacon dipmay not be the prettiest appetizer to show up at the table, but I assure you that everyone will forget all about its looks after one mouthwatering bite. It is incredible!
This tasty dip starts withbacon, so right off the bat you know it’s gonna be a hit with football fans. To make it even more over irresistible, you cook up the onions in the bacon grease with a little sugar and some seasonings. By this point your house smells pretty amazing, so don’t be surprised if people come running. 🙂
After cooking your bacon and onions, all you do is stir all the ingredients together in a slow cooker. I have a Little Dipper Crock Pot, and it was the perfect size for my family. If you will be serving a crowd, you will want to double it and use a larger crock pot.In an hour or two, you will have a cheesy, melty, absolutely mouthwatering dip. Just look at that cheese!
I served this cheesy bacon dip with tortilla chips, but you could also use crackers, bagel crisps, or even crunchy veggies.(I think red peppers would be pretty fantastic.)
If you love this appetizer recipe for game day, you’ll enjoy these too!
