Bacon and Cheddar Dip


If you have any sports fans in your life....make them this dip as part of your next game day spread. It's got everything you could ask for in a dip! Bacon, smoked cheddar cheese, onions and lots of creamy goodness. I'll be putting this out for snacking tomorrow before dinner.

1 cup light sour cream
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 onion diced
1 8 oz pkg of light cream cheese
salt and pepper
2 cups smoked sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup light mayo

In a large skillet cook the bacon until crisp, reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings. Clean out the pan. Add the drippings back along with the onion and cook over medium/high heat. Season the onions with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl beat the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo until smooth. Fold in the bacon, onions, and cheddar cheese, reserving some of the bacon and cheese to sprinkle over the top of dip. Scoop the dip into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon over the top. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Serve hot with crackers.
