This warm Cheesy Bacon Dip is loaded with crispy bacon, cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, and creamy mayonnaise, then baked in a sourdough bread bowl until hot and bubbly. It’s the perfect game-day appetizer, holiday party dip, or crowd-pleasing recipe to share.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked crumbled bacon, diced onion, minced garlic, mayonnaise, Monterey Jack cheese, and cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined.
1 pound cooked bacon, 1 small onion, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cut the top off the bread bowl and set it aside to use as a lid.
Hollow out the center of the bread bowl, leaving enough bread around the sides and bottom to hold the dip. Cut the removed bread into pieces for serving.
1 8- inch bread bowl
Spoon the bacon cheese mixture into the bread bowl and place the bread lid on top.
Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly in the center.
Remove from the oven, garnish with green onions or chives if desired, and serve warm with bread pieces, crackers, chips, or vegetables.
Optional garnish: sliced green onions or chives
Notes
Store leftover dip in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Leftover dip would be great served over a baked potato!
