Easy Bacon Cheese Dip
Made with cream cheese, mayo, parmesan, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a whole lotta bacon!
Every bite will leave you wanting another and you'll have to beg someone to take the dish away or you'll eat it all - I'm speaking from experience here.
It's gooey, salty, cheesy, and a little bit greasy!
Perfect for holidays, game days, and more!
If you love bacon and cheddar (and who doesn’t?) you’re going to LOVE this super easy baked cheese dip.
We’re loading it with crunchy, salty bacon and fresh chives - plus you can make it low carb and keto diet compatible, too!
This dip is perfect for parties, as an appetizer, for game day - or just any time you’re craving rich, melty cheese and tons of crunchy bacon.
Serve it with fresh tortillas, chips, pretzels, vegetables - or even keto tortilla chips, jalapeno cheddar bread, or over a juicy air fryer burger - its even great served over pasta!
I hope you love this cheese dip as much as we do!
How to Make Bacon Cheese Dip
This dip uses really simple everyday ingredients you probably already have on hand!
- Cream cheese - use room temperature cream cheese to make it incorporate easily.
- Cheddar cheese - Any cheddar or similar grated cheese will work - but you do NOT want to use store-bought grated cheese. When you buy grated cheese from the store they have preservatives and anti-caking additives that can make them melt unevenly - so always grate your cheese fresh.
- Parmesan cheese
- Cooked bacon
- Mayonnaise
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix cheese. Add cream cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, most of the bacon, mayo, and spices to a large bowl or stand mixer and mix until fully combined.
- Bake. Transfer the mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon and bake for 20 minutes.
Tips to Perfect Cheddar Bacon Dip & FAQs
To get perfect crunchy bacon, I like to cut it with kitchen scissors when still cold, then pan fry until brown and crispy.
Bacon is easier to cut when cold - and we find it crisps up more evenly to cut before cooking instead of crumbling after cooking whole slices of bacon.
Let bacon rest on paper towels to drain off excess grease before adding to cheese dip - letting the grease drain off will help your bacon get extra crunchy and perfect for this cheesy dip!
Recipe FAQ's
Can I use pre-shredded cheese to save time?
We suggest using fresh shredded cheese for the most even melt - store bought shredded cheese doesn’t always melt smoothly.
This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Dip is best when consumed after two days.
We don’t recommend freezing and reheating, as the texture can get overly greasy after thawing.
