If, and that’s a big if, you end up with any leftovers this stuff also makes great quesadillas and filling for omelets. And as my kids would say, eh, it has enough food groups you don’t need to feel guilty! 

For this recipe I’ve used frozen broccoli because it’s cheap, easy and more importantly something I always have on hand in the freezer.

You’ll need:

  • A 10 ounce bag of frozen broccoli florets
  • A block of cream cheese
  • Bacon
  • Shredded cheddar
  • Sour cream 
  • Mayo 
  • Dried Minced Onion

Making Cheesy Bacon and Broccoli Dip

  1. You’ll start by cooking the broccoli as directed on the package to crisp tender. (I just microwave it.) Drain it and chop it into pieces small enough to scoop on a cracker and not break your cracker because that’s the worst. (You may be thinking: Amy, why don’t we just use frozen chopped broccoli? Answer: Because I don’t like getting woody pieces that you have to spit out and it seems like there are a ton of those in prechopped frozen broccoli. So broccoli florets it is.) A mixing bowl full of the ingredients needed.
  2.  2. Throw the chopped cooked broccoli into a mixing bowl with the cheddar, cooked and crumbed bacon, cream cheese,  sour cream, mayo and onion and mix it up well.A white mixing bowl holding the mixed dip ingredients.
  3.  3. Spread it in a pie plate (top it with a bit more cheese if you’re like me) and bake it until it’s golden brown and bubbly at the edges. A pie plate of cheesy bacon and broccoli dip hot from the oven on a tray with crackers to one side.

Slow Cooker Instructions: You can also make this in a slow cooker. Instead of putting it in a pie plate and baking, just put it in a slow cooker and heat it on low for about 2 hours, or until everything is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted through. Just stir it halfway through.
