Cheesy Bacon Dip – Best Dip Ever

If there’s one dip you’re going to want to make to bring to parties, it’s this cheesy bacon dip. Simply put, it’s the best dip ever!!

What ingredients do you need to make cheesy bacon dip?

  • Thick cut bacon – the thicker bacon helps stand out in the dip better.  And everyone loves to taste those bacon pieces!
  • Cream cheese – the base of every amazing dip.
  • Sour cream – the sour cream helps make the recipe more smooth and creamy and dip-able, if you will.
  • Worcestershire sauce – a dash always helps recipes.
  • Green onions – for that little bit of zing.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese – in my opinion, the sharper the better!  Always adds more flavor.
  • Round bread – you can use almost any type you’d like.  This is the vessel for the dip.

Ingredients to make cheesy bacon dipLet me tell you how I came across the recipe for this cheesy bacon dip: a few years ago when I was getting married, my amazing family/ in-laws threw me this bridal shower. As part of the invites they sent, they included a blank recipe card and asked everyone to bring a recipe to the shower and include it in a recipe box which they gifted me.

One of the recipes in that I got at the shower was from a friend who wrote a really cute message about the dip and ended the note with the sentence “WATCH THIS DIP DISAPPEAR every time”

Dip in a bread bowlLet me tell you, that is exactly what happens when you make this dish! It’s always gone, even the bread bowl the dip is baked in gets broken up into pieces and eaten!  Plus, you don’t have to worry about leaving a dish behind at a party.

Cheesy bacon dip in a bread bowlI cannot tell you how many times I’ve made this cheesy bacon dip over the years.  It’s a true staple at parties and gets requested ALL the time!!! I would highly recommend making it for any and all parties you have coming up.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 24 servings

Equipment

  • Cutting and Carving Board
  • Glass Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden spoons

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb thick cut bacon cooked and cut into little pieces
  • 8 oz cream cheese I use 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese
  • 12 oz sour cream I use light sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 loaf of round bread I use a rustic Italian or whatever unsliced round bread they have in the bakery section

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350.
  • Cook the bacon and cut it into small pieces (alternatively you can cut the bacon and then cook it, this goes faster). Drain the grease from the bacon by draining/cooling the bacon on a plate covered in a few pieces of paper towel.
  • In a bowl mix together the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth, then add the Worcestershire Sauce and mix, then add the green onions, cheddar and bacon and stir until well combined.
    Ingredients to make cheesy bacon dip
  • Hollow out the bread round (making sure to leave the bottom in tact) - I cut a shallow disc-like shape out of the top and the scoop out the sides by tearing pieces out. Set insides/pieces aside for serving.
    Making cheesy bacon dip
  • Place hollowed out out of the round bread bowl on top of 2 large pieces of aluminum foil that will cover the dip.
  • Spoon the dip mixture into the hollowed bread bowl, and then wrap with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

      I’ve never frozen it ahead but I’ve certainly made it a few days ahead of time and then just baked it before serving

      Haha, well said! I swear this dip is always the biggest hit at family parties. It’s always GONE! My husband said to me the other day “anytime you want to feel good about yourself, just bring that dip to a party and see how much everyone loves it” lol! I’d love to hear how you love it!

    Have you ever baked this ahead of time and just reheated it? I want to make it for work but we don’t have an oven here, just a microwave.

      Sorry only responding now (it’s been a crazy busy week). Yes, I have made the dip ahead and then reheated it in the microwave 🙂 I just serve it in a bowl and not a bread bowl if I’m reheating it.

    This cheesy dip is what I have been looking for, should be good to make ahead and put in oven just before serving. Thanks.

    The Dip sounds awesome – but I also want to hear more about your amazing race! Sounds like a great family activity.

      The amazing race is a great family activity (great for large groups too). So what happens is is that one of my husbands aunts plans different ‘challenges’ and then gives clues to move on to the next activity, teams are made, and then whichever team finishes first, wins. Some examples of the challenges have been: having a bucket of water and sponges, and then empty cups set up around a table, the teams have to fill/carry water with the sponge and then fill the cup, whichever team is done first moves on to the next activity (which was driving to a local park after figuring out a crossword puzzle with the name of the park and then when they got to the designated park, doing a 30 second chicken dance as a team and then moving on.) The teams get very competitive, I was lucky enough to help man one of the stations this year will hopefully get to do the same next year 🙂
