“Even people that don't like blue cheese love this wonderful hot dip. It can be served with vegetables, but I find that people like it best with French bread.” - by CSPALAIKA

Ingredients

7 slices bacon
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup half-and-half
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

"Good, but salty - not sure if it was the brand of cheese or the bacon (I used less bacon than the recipe called for, but it was still quite salty)..." See more"
