Bacon Swiss Dip

Snackworthy is willing to share a secret. Everything tastes better with bacon.

The first time I made this recipe for Bacon Swiss Dip, I made only one batch. I mean, how much will these people eat, right? Since then, I'm now up to four or more batches at large parties and it is still the first thing that runs out.

So here's the recipe and you can all start making it on your own. Better yet, bring it to my party.

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonaise
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
8 slices bacon, crisp-cooked crumbled
1 sleeve butter crackers, crushed
3 tablespoons melted butter

Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise and swiss cheese in a bowl and mix well. Stir in the green onions and bacon. Spread into a shallow baking dish. Top with the crushed crackers and drizzle with the melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot with assorted crackers or chips.

You may prepare this ahead of time and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and bake just before serving time.

Yeah, Paula Deen wishes she created this recipe. You'll love it.

I have to agree. Anything better with bacon. Only wish you had suggested a peanut butter and bacon sandwich, on toast. Hey, don't make that face till you try it!
