Crowd Pleasing Dip

One of my favorite cookbooks is Prime Meridian. This cookbook is full of recipes from local residents all of which have been taste tested. All of the recipes I've tried from the cookbook have been great! In addition, the illustrations are prints of art work by Meridian artist Greg Cartmell and feature area attractions such as our Grand Opera House.


For Cooper's birthday party, I made the Hot Swiss and Bacon Dip from the cookbook. The casserole caddy was one of my 'freebies' from my Southern Living at Home party.


Here is the recipe:

1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded Swiss Cheese
2 tablespoons chopped onion
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided
Round buttery crackers
Preheat oven to 350. Mix cream cheese and mayonnaise. Add Swiss cheese, onion and bacon, reserving 3 tablespoons of bacon. Place in a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Crumble 15 to 20 crackers. Sprinkle cracker crumbs and remaining bacon on top. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with remaining crackers.
I doubled the recipe, and used a 9 by 12 baking dish.
