Bacon Bleu Cheese Dip Recipe

Real Restaurant Appetizer Dip

So here is the story of this wonderful Bacon Bleu Cheese Dip.

Someone working at “Organic Farms” spoke to me and praised the website and a number of the recipes on the site.

“Your crab dip is wonderful. Please try this recipe for another quality dip!”

I did. I served it to real restaurant guests. They LOVED it. So did I.

Even people that say they don't like bleu cheese love this wonderful hot dip. Serve with artisan bread or French bread and/or crisp crackers. It is also good with most vegetables.

The fellow who shared this recipe knows we tried it and what the result has been. We love sharing “winning recipes.”

It is now a real restaurant recipe! And shared!
