Today is my 200th post. Wow, never thought this little hobby would take me this far. In honor I decided to make a party dip. I went to the grocery store the other day and found powdered cheese flavoring. I figured that this would be a great way to add a cheesy flavor to dips without having to shred cheese and give the dip a weird texture. It worked.

The baked potato dip includes a half pound of bacon. So delicious.The first step is to dice up the bacon and fry it crisp. Once cooked remove it from the pan and let drain on a paper towel. Make sure to let it cool for 15 minutes before making the dip. I looked all over for a powdered cheddar cheese and finally found one over by the microwave popcorn. It actually works great for dips.

Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
At first I used the white cheddar, then I needed to add more and I accidentally added the regular cheddar. That is why the dip is slightly yellow.

I made this for a football party yesterday. I originally had 4 tsp of cheese, but it was found to be too cheesy. I also only used 1/4 pound of bacon and that was found to be too little. The recipe above is adjusted to include these changes.— Rex
