Blue Cheese Bacon Dip

 

 

Blue Cheese Bacon Dip

 Where I live, we love football! Can you say Super Bowl champs last year even after the lights went out during the game!  So since we love football, families are always having parties on game days.  This is an appetizer that I tend to bring a lot to friend's parties.  Everyone loves it- cheese and bacon- how can you go wrong? I usually serve the cut veggies in cups for easy transport and because it looks nice when all set up. I do love pita chips with this too- not as healthy as the veggies, but so tasty! I hope you try this out for yourself- super easy and super yummy. Enjoy!
