Bacon Double Cheese Burger Dip. The Super Bowl is quickly approaching and that means that it is time to start dusting off some recipes for snacking!

Bacon Double Cheese Burger Dip

I am a big fan of hot melted cheese dips and I had an idea for a new one, a bacon double cheese burger dip that has all of the flavours of a bacon double cheese burger. Beef is the main part of a burger so I started out there and I added some ingredients that I commonly add to burgers including onions, garlic and worcestershire sauce. Next up was the bacon and then the cheese and I included both cheddar for the flavour and mozzarella for the stringy melted goodness. I went with the standard hot melted cheese dip ingredients including the cream cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream to form the base of the dip.

One final touch was the addition of ketchup as it is a pretty standard condiment used in burgers. This bacon double cheese burger dip goes great on toasted baguette slices or with tortilla chips for your dipping pleasure. EDDIE ROSS - Presentation Presentation Presentation.
