BBQ Dip

Thursday, September 20, 2007

I love cream cheese. Add shredded cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce and some veggies and I’m in heaven. This dip always disappears quickly. I like to serve it with Frito’s scoops.

BBQ Dip – 2 WW pts/2 Tbsp (Original recipe from Kraft.com)
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese – I use the 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 pkg. (2.8 oz.) Real Bacon Recipe Pieces
1 small tomato, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1-1/2 cups Shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
(I always add chopped tomatoes and cilantro as well)

Spread cream cheese onto large platter or bottom of pizza pan; drizzle with barbecue sauce.

Top with remaining ingredients.

Serve with your favorite crackers or chips.

Now I think bacon wrapped dates are amazing… but stuffed with goat cheese & almond?! Yum! I wish I knew of this before my Tapas party last weekend 🙂

Yay for goat cheese! It really does make them better, doesn’t it?

Okay, so I had these babies at a party in rural Massachusetts this weekend, and I have no idea who made them (they were part of a HUGE spread and like 100 people brought food), and I’m wondering, given your proximity, whether or not I may have possibly eaten your delights unknowingly?

Aleta – it was not me, although it sounds like a great party. These always get gobbled up anywhere we take them!

do you think these would be good at room temperature?

I am going to an outdoor concert next week and wanted to bring some finger food!

These are awesome at room temperature. We’ve made them a ton. You can make them and refrigerate for a couple days before grilling/broiling, you can also go ahead and cook them just leave them at room temperature. I prefer them at room temperature actually.

Would you imagine using some milder-tasting cheese like Brie tasting good?
