Whether you’re throwing a very small get together this year for the holidays or it is just you and yours, this crockpot dip may be a favorite new recipe. I must admit I think this makes a fine no fuss dinner for those of you who love cheese and bacon as much as I do. There are only good things to say about this particular dip recipe I just discovered on Youtube from Real Housemoms, where I also found quite a few other recipes I can’t wait to make. I tried it out last weekend- yummy, easy, quick and delicious. Pretty creative, too, if you ask me. I’ve made tater tot casserole in my crockpot and lots of other easy recipes with ground meat, but this one is super flavorful and covered in cheese, a new favorite, for sure.
