When it comes to party food, I love a good dip recipe. You do too right? For me, the cheesier, the better! I know when I am planning a party or casual get together, I can always rely on Heluva Good!® Block Cheese for making my party dip recipes extra special. I have a number of go-to dips that I like to make but this Bacon Cheddar Bread Bowl Dip is my favorite! This is the perfect all-year party dip that is great for any occasion. Baking and serving the dip in a hollowed out round loaf makes a really cool presentation.

The rich flavor of Heluva Good! Sharp Cheddar Cheese makes this dip mouthwatering. It’s the perfect cheese for entertaining. Versatile enough for a simple cracker dish or a mouthwatering Bacon Cheddar Bread Bowl Dip. I hand grate one block of the sharp cheddar variety. Heluva Good! Cheese is gluten-free and an excellent source of calcium.

The ingredients for this dip are pretty straight-forward. You may even have them already in your refrigerator. You all know how much I love bacon. Ok, you probably are tired of reading about it here but it pairs so deliciously with cheese.

Cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, and garlic round out the rest of the ingredients. Mix them all together in a bowl. Oh, and I can’t forget the bread. You will need a nice hearty round loaf. Something with a nice crust that will hold up once you fill, bake and serve the dip.

I like to serve this dip with an assortment of crackers because you know, cheese and crackers to together like bread and butter. I also slice up some fresh vegetables to serve as well. You can also add the bread cubes from the hollowed loaf too for dipping.

This dip is all about cheesy goodness. You simply can’t go wrong with a bacon and cheddar combination. Happy dipping!
