This outrageous Baked Bacon Cheese Dip is what every party needs. Loaded with bacon, five different types of cheese and tons of flavor . I am a huge fan of dip recipes. Cheese dip recipes in particular. I have noticed that, without exception, dips are the first things to go at parties. And the reasons are simple.

Tips for the Best Cheese Dip

• Bread bowls can be a nightmare if you don’t prepare them properly. You’ll notice that my instructions call for brushing the bread bowl with olive and baking before filling with the cheese dip. This creates a crusty moisture barrier and ensures that the bread doesn’t absorb too much moisture while it’s sitting out. It’s a quick and easy step that pays off big time.
• Use the best quality ingredients you can afford. This will get you the best flavor for sure.
• I like to say a small amount of the bacon pieces and sliced green onions to sprinkle over the top right before serving. It gives your guests a little heads up as to what the dip contains.
• Give options! You can go crazy with dippers here. Crackers, chips, pretzels, veggie sticks – all are great choices. I also love to serve with fresh bread cubes as well.
