8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 cup swiss cheese, shredded

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup ritz crackers, crushed

1 pkg. real bacon bits

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cooking dish with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, swiss cheese, and onion. Spread cream cheese mixture into baking dish (or aluminum pan. Pie pans work very well!). Top cream cheese mixture with crackers, then bacon, and bake for 10-12 minutes, until dip is hot and bubbly.

I didn't realize that it had been two years since I have posted a recipe. I started this new blog with such gusto, and then life happened and it slowly slipped away from me. During the time between the last post and now, we have started a new business called The Cookie Cakery, which is a Cottage Law Bakery in Alabaster, AL. I was fortunate enough to walk away from the hotel industry and pursue this venture full-time, while also getting to stay home with my little man. It is certainly a challenge, but I wouldn't change it for the world! Now, let's talk recipes!

This dip is addictive. It is also incredibly easy to make, and I highly suggest doubling it. It is our go-to dip for football games, and it can be made in an aluminum foil pan for easy cleanup. Ritz crackers are the best with this dip, but I think Hawaiian rolls would be FANTASTIC dipped in this as well! A great sweet and salty mixture that may be a little TOO dangerous for the waste line! If you have ever had Touch of Heaven Ham Rolls, this almost mimics that same flavor with the onion, but definitely has a deeper flavor with the bacon and the Swiss.
