Jump to Recipe

Whether you’re hosting a holiday party or just a casual get together, this cheesy bacon appetizer is the perfect crowd-pleasing recipe. The first time I tried it was at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party, and we all fell in love with the flavour.

My friend generously passed the recipe on to me and now it’s become a hockey night tradition, whether playing or watching. Whenever I serve it up, the boys always say they love it because of the bacon. If you’re going to give it a try, I recommend serving it with chips, crackers, or sourdough bread for dipping!
