Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 5 strips bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 sweet onion, finely diced
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, about 1/2 cup, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced, plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup roasted pecans, chopped
  • Hot honey for drizzling, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat with the bacon. Allow the bacon to cook until crispy and the fat has rendered. Remove from the pan and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  2. Remove all but 1 tbsp of fat from the pan. Add the onions and allow to cook until caramelized, stirring often, about 45 minutes. If they start to look a little dry or seem to be cooking too fast give them a splash of water. Remove from the pan and let cool.
  3. Preheat the oven or grill to 350 degrees.
  4. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and garlic powder to a bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add most of the blue cheese and bacon to the bowl, reserving a little for topping. Add the chives and caramelized onions. Stir to combine.
  6. Spread the dip into an oven or grill safe baking dish.
  7. Let the dip bake for 12-15 minutes until warmed through and just beginning to bubble. 
  8. Top with the pecans, reserved bacon, blue cheese, and chives. Drizzle a little hot honey over the top if desired.

Notes

  • This dip can be made vegetarian by omitting the bacon and using vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Caramelize an entire onion instead of half an onion.
  • For a more mild flavor use goat cheese instead of blue cheese.
  • Make sure to use the wedge of blue cheese and not the already crumbled blue cheese for the best texture and flavor. 
  • You do not have to bake this dip. It can also be served as is at room temperature.
