Baked Pimento Cheese Dip with Bacon

Last week my daughter and I had the pleasure of game night with a couple of friends. We played Fibbage… have you played that game? I highly recommend it!! So fun, anyway…. our wonderful hostess made a Hot Pimento Cheese Dip… and yes, I had never had it before, shocking I know. I got to studying the flavors, cause it’s just what I do and thought…. ” I can do that!”

I thought it over this week and I tried this today … it makes 2 pans, cause I have come to the conclusion that I can not make a little bit of anything… but you can cut it in half, if’n you want to…

Preheat oven to 350°

Chop your red peppers until you have 1 1/2 cups, each jar is different… I get very large jars from Sams, so it was about 7 peppers for me… but the amount you put in is up to you really.

After the bacon has cooled, add half to the mixture and fold it in.

Divide the cheese in to two pans and top with the remaining bacon, I sprinkled a little more parsley on, cause its pretty .

Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, until its bubbly and sizzling.

CAUTION: IT IS HOT!

Serve immediately with bagel chips, crackers or toasted bread…. the list is endless.
