Charleston Cheese Dip
If you love cheese and bacon then you're going to love this dip. I am a big cheese lover so it was no surprise that I chose this recipe while thumbing through Trisha Yearwoods new cookbook.Her Charleston Cheese Dip was one of the first recipes I saw when I purchased her book.
I mean with all that yummy cheese and bacon how can it be bad. I love sharp cheddar cheese so that was my first attraction to this recipe.
It also calls for cream cheese and Monterey jack cheese. This recipe is like cheese heaven showered in bacon. Really that's the only way to describe it.
If you're looking for a great cookbook with easy home cooked flair, than this is the cookbook for you. My long standing favorite is Trisha's first cookbook, Georgia Cooking in a Oklahoma Kitchen. I really didn't think her second one could compare to her first, but I was wrong. There really hasn't been a recipe in either cookbook that I haven't like.
For New Years Eve I made her Hot Corn Dip which is over the top good. I could literally sit and eat that stuff with a spoon. Both of these dips
would be great for a Super bowl get together. These dips are defiantly not chic food because believe me even the guys loved this stuff. If you ask me I would make both of these dips because it is just too hard to choose.
