Party Panache, Summer Peach Party Dip

the Painted Apron

10 months ago

It doesn’t have to be a special occasion to have a dip~

My family loves to have a dip to nibble on

late in the afternoon while dinner is cooking

Last week at the beach I made a new one~

This peach and bacon dip is crazy good!

Cream cheese and mayonnaise

are mixed with bacon, cheese, vidalia onions

and a surprise ingredient, peaches!

Chop the peach and onion and give it a quick saute

in a little reserved bacon grease*

* I usually cook bacon on a parchment lined sheet pan in the oven

so I simply transferred a little of the rendered fat

from the parchment paper to a skillet

You can mix everything right in the baking dish~

Combine the cream cheese with mayonnaise and bacon

in a greased 1 quart casserole

Then stir in the onions and peaches

Then the cheese

At this point you can cover it and refrigerate for baking later

or even the next day

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until heated through and bubbling

Serve with crackers, sturdy chips, baguette slices or celery sticks

Dig in!
