What To Serve With Dip Recipes

Obviously, everyone loves some great tortilla chips along with their dips. I always like to serve a couple of options though, in case you have someone who is watching carbs. The cheddar flavor actually goes really well with sliced tart green apple or tomato. 

This make a big batch, so if you have leftovers, just stick it in the fridge and reheat in the oven before serving again. Although, I doubt you’ll have any leftovers – everyone always wants to take home this recipe. I just refer them to this webpage!

It’s truly the perfect party food dip. We make it every year for “The Big Game” and it’s perfect for tailgating. 

Note: If you don’t want to serve this warm, or you’re tight on time, serve it cold! It’s just as good.

How To Make Hot Bacon Cheddar Dip With Cream Cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (if serving warm). Prep a 9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Beat the cream cheese, chili powder, salt, pepper, and salsa together in a large bowl.

Spread this mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.

Garnish with tomatoes, sliced black olives and crumbled bacon. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes to warm and cheese is melted.

Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or store in a covered dish in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
