Bacon and Sausage Cheese Dip
Cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar, onion, Purnell’s Sausage and bacon. Good with chips or veggies.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy. Drain on paper towels. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. Cook sausage until done, drain and set aside, again reserving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the pan.
Sauté the diced onion in the reserved bacon grease until translucent – season with salt & pepper.
Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, 16oz of cheddar cheese, & the sauteed onion in a large bowl until smooth. Chop the bacon, & fold it and sausage in to cream cheese mixture.
Spread the mixture out into a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, & paprika to taste.
Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with crackers, chips, or bread and enjoy!
