This dip is taken straight from the recipe file of my friend Mel. She made it for our Project 320 weekend and all of us nicknamed it "Blue Cheese Crack!" It is seriously SO good, and SO addicting. I made it for bookclub last week, and Matt was sad that something so yummy was leaving the house without him getting even one bite! So I promised I'd make it again soon. We're having some friends over to watch the Oscars tonight and this will be served. If you like Blue Cheese, you'll LOVE this dip! I serve it with sliced green apples and french baguette. YUM.
Ingredients
7 slices bacon, crumbled
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 c half & half (or whole milk)
