    Bacon cheese dip in a cast iron dutch oven

    Is there a better combination than cheese and bacon? Yeah, I don't know that there is! This bacon cheese dip recipe combines the two into a fabulous savory dip that I think you'll love.

    This dip is as easy as frying bacon and melting cheese. Really, that's basically all there is to this one. So good and so easy!

    Bacon Cheese Dip Supplies


    You'll need a Dutch oven or a large sauce pan. We're going to melt the cheese over medium-low heat so it doesn't burn. I find that a Dutch oven is a great way to do this because it heats evenly, but be careful not to turn the heat up to far too fast.

    I recommend a metal spoon for this. I guess you can use a wooden spoon if you prefer, but it may stick. I found the metal spoon worked great.

    Cheese Combos

    When it comes to the types of cheese used in this recipe, I went with a combination of gruyere and swiss. You can absolutely use any kind of cheese you want. I think it would be great with gruyere and cheddar, or smoked gouda and fontina, or maybe blue cheese and mozzarella.

    Dairy-Free Options

    I'm still on the hunt for a good dairy-free cheese substitute for those of us that can't do the real thing. Unfortunately, I don't have any great finds, but Cristina over at The Castaway Kitchen has an awesome mozzarella melting block recipe in her Made Whole, Made Simple cookbook and a great cheese sauce recipe in her first book, Made Whole. I love both of these cookbooks and I highly recommend them to everyone!

    What to Dip?

    There are a million things you can dip in this bacon cheese dip!

    For those of you who miss cheese fries, you can try dipping celery root French fries or parsnip chips. Ooooh, baby!

    You can dip pieces of meat or any veggie you want. Green pepper strips, radishes, jicama sticks, fried green beans, the options are endless!
