Hot Swiss and Bacon Dip

Submitted by LifeIsGood

"A nice, warm dip to serve for parties! You could serve this with a variety of crackers, breads or veggies. The recipe is from Rachael Ray."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 8 slices bacon, center-cut, chopped
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmans)
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 1⁄2 cups swiss cheese, shredded
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup smoked almonds, coarsely chopped

directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Brown the chopped bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the crisp bacon bits on some paper towels.
3. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayo, Dijon, Swiss cheese and chopped scallions with the cooked bacon.
4. Transfer this mixture to a shallow, small casserole or baking dish and bake until golden and bubbly at the edges - about 15 to 18 minutes.
5. Top with the chopped almonds and serve!

Oh boy, I knew I would love this dip. Loved the combination of cheeses, bacon and scallions. I made 1/4 of the recipe and had to use sliced almonds, what I had on hand, which I added them from the beginning of the baking, so they then were toasted. I served it with Ritz crackers for a great lunch. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Photo Tag Game.

Made just half a recipe as it was kind of a test-run to see if it might be something I'd want to make for one of the groups I host each month, & believe me, it's now on schedule! This is a wonderfully tasty dip that will be a big hit, I just know it will! Many thanks for a great recipe keeper! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

This is excellent! I made it this afternoon in my mini crockpot and used the dip on top of roasted potatoes. Soooo good! I held back on the almonds-I will top with those tomorrow when we have the rest of the dip with crackers! Made for Culinary Quest 2015

I am so glad I tried this dip! I made this last night for hubby and I to munch on during the football game. I was going to halve the recipe for just the two of us, but I made the entire batch. I'm happy that I did... between just us, we polished it off and skipped dinner altogether. I made this exactly as written, with the exception that I did not put any nuts on top. It was so warm, gooey and fabulous! I served it with homemade pita chips and store bought bagel chips. Definitely saving this one! Thanks for posting. (Made for PRMR)
