This is a new recipe for me... I first had it a couple of months back at a Murder Mystery Party and I haven not stopped thinking about it since!

And guess what else?
They are also the perfect canvas for your holiday dips! So let’s get started! You can find everything you need at your local Kroger store – including all of the amazing varieties of Wasa crackers: Wasa Multi Grain, Wasa Thins Rosemary & Sea Salt, and Wasa Thins Sesame & Sea Salt.
This is everything else you’ll need to make the dip...
Creamy Bacon Cheese Dip Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup shredded cheddar, divided
- 5 oz. bacon pieces or crumbles, divided (you could also cook and chop 1 pound of bacon)
Okay, let’s get started!
First add the cream cheese, mayo and sour cream to a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix it until it’s creamy and smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again for about a minute.
Next add in the garlic, onion powder, paprika and half of the cheddar and bacon (half of each).
Lastly, spread the dip into a pie plate:
Then top with the remaining bacon and shredded cheddar...
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Note: when this dip is really, really cold it’s a bit difficult to spread. If you refrigerate the dip, be sure to set it out and let it warm up a bit before it’s time to serve!

Did you use the bacon pieces/bits you can purchase in a bag or jar or real cooked bacon?
Rose
Yes, I used the real bacon pieces purchased in a bag (salad toppiong), but you could also cook and crumble about 1 pound of bacon.
Bonnie Willey
Sounds good. I make it with chopped up 'chipped beef' (like for creamed chip beef breakfast), instead of bacon, and use dill weed with chopped green onion tips, & chopped fresh parsley. I shape it into a ball & roll it in some more of the chopped green onion tops, chopped fresh parsley, & chopped chip beef pieces.
