Smoked Gouda Bacon Dip

Healthy Fact of the Day

Gouda cheese provides calcium for bone health and a rich, smoky flavor, reducing the need for added seasonings. Opt for reduced-fat cream cheese or light mayonnaise to cut calories. Bacon, when used sparingly, enhances the flavor profile without overwhelming the dish. Balance your dip indulgence by pairing with fresh veggies for dipping instead of crackers.

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Crackers or bread for serving

     Instructions
  1. Preheat Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth.

  3. Add Gouda and Bacon: Stir in shredded Gouda, bacon (reserving some for topping), green onions, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish.

  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.

  6. Garnish: Top with reserved bacon and additional green onions.

  7. Serve: Serve hot with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
