Bacon & Onion Cheese Dip

Oogie gooey bacon, onion cheese dip.

Until recently I had completely forgotten about this recipe. My brother moved out west and for his Good-Bye Party, he requested I make this dip. His words were "Remember that warm bacon cheese dip you used to make?", in all honesty my thoughts were "nope, not at all". I had to dig through my recipe book to find "that" dip, which I hadn't made in over 8 years. When I finally found it I remembered making it in the oven or crockpot, my next thoughts were "why not smoke it ?!"

Smoking it was the best idea! The dip itself is really simple to make and takes very few ingredients. The smoker added additional flavour that made the dip only lasted 30 minutes when I arrived at the party. Paired with tostitos or crackers this dip is addictive.

Your List of Ingredients

• 1 tbsp of Garlic Powder

• 1 tbsp of Paprika

• 1 block of Lactose Free Cream Cheese

• 1 a cup of Mayo

• 1/4 cup of finely chopped White Onion

• 2 tbsp of finely chopped Green Onion Photo Credit: V.Gray

• 3 cloves of chopped Garlic

• 8 pieces of Bacon (cooked & finely chopped)

• 1 1/2 cups of grated Lactose Free Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Smoke Time: 1 hour

Step 1: In a Bowl

In a bowl with a hand mixer blend the cream cheese and mayo until well whipped together. Then fold in the garlic powder, finely chopped bacon, white onion, green onion and garlic paste.

Step 2: Smoker

Preheat the smoker to 300C degrees. While your smoker is preheating, transfer your dip into a casserole dish and smooth out evenly. Cover the top with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. * If you don't have a smoker, toss it in the oven!

Step 3: Cook It!

Place the casserole dish in the smoker for 1 hour and walk away. After an hour you will have the dip bubbling and the cheddar cheese on top melted. Serve with your favourite chips or crackers.
