You really can’t go wrong when you combine bacon, cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese all in one recipe!
I make this bacon cheddar dip several times each year over the holidays and I never can get a picture of it. Every time I make this dip it is gone before I can get a picture. I guess that is a sure sign of a really good recipe.
I also get asked for the recipe every time I make this, which is another sign of a good recipe.
I was determined to get some pictures when I made it recently for my husband’s office Christmas party.
This is one of those recipes that I have made for years. It is our favorite chip and dip type recipe. We all love it. I mean it has bacon, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese in it, what is not to like about it. (And I said it was good, not healthy. 🙂 )
It is great with chips or crackers. It can also be mixed together and heated in a crock pot, which is how I served it for my husband’s office party.
You really can’t go wrong with this recipe. It is perfect for holiday parties, football watching, and anytime you need a chip and dip type recipe.
Bacon Cheddar Dip Recipe
Bacon cheddar dip is a delicious treat for football watching, parties, and more!
Ingredients
- 2 ( 8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 small onion, finely chopped ( I have left the onion out and it is delicious that way too.)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a bowl beat together cream cheese, sour cream, onion, and mayonnaise.
- Stir in bacon and 3 cups of cheese.
- Spread into a baking dish. I use an 11x7 Pyrex, a pie plate, or similar size.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Notes
This can also be made and heated in a crock pot. Cook on low just until heated through, this takes about 2 hours. Stir once or twice while heating though or the edges will get too done.

I tried to add this recipe to my ziplist, but it added the Post Roast with Red Wine instead. I tried it twice.

Thanks for letting me know. I gave it a try and from my homepage it did pull the stew post, which is odd, but when I went to the specific page, https://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2012/01/bacon-cheddar-dip-recipe.html and it added it, so you might try it that way. It should work both ways though, and I will look into it and check with Ziplist about it. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks. I went to the page and it worked. Thanks for sharing all your great recipes.
I want to make this to take to a friend’s house Sunday. Do you think it would do well in a crock pot? I don’t want to hog her oven since I know it will be in use. 🙂
Yes, I think that will work fine just be sure to not overcook it. I hope you enjoy it.
Made this tonight…yum! What a delicious dip. I will definitely be making it again.
Thanks for letting me know. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
About how many servings does this make? Can this dip be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated until ready to use? It looks delicious . Thanks, Betty
I am sorry that I did not get back to you. I took a few days off of online life. Yes it can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator. If you are serving this as the only appetizer type of food I would say it serves 6-8. If you are using it for more of a finger food type meal or party where there is other food, it serves a lot more. I have taken this to many group parties and it is usually plenty. I hope that helps.
Is this good with potato chips? I have a huge bag to use up.
We eat it with crackers, tortilla chips, potato chips, etc. Really anything thing you want to dip in it. 🙂 Depending on what you want it for or how much you need, you could easily half the dip recipe too. I hope that helps.
