• Bacon strips, cooked, diced – Crispy, smoky goodness.
• Roma tomato, diced – Adds a pop of freshness and color.
• Green onion stalks, diced – A mild onion crunch that brightens everything up.
• Tortilla chips – The perfect sturdy scoop for hauling maximum cheese from skillet to mouth.

Note: Reserve 1-2 Tbsp each of the bacon, tomato, and green onions for topping.

We like to serve this dip with a variety of vegetables, crackers, and tortilla chips for dipping. We have fond memories of other campers asking us “what on earth are you making?”, trying some of this dip, and falling in love — it is just that good.

It’s easy to personalize this campfire dip to your family’s liking. Simply substitute your favorite kind of cream cheese for the herb and garlic cream cheese in this recipe. 

We use vegetable cream cheese and homemade salsa most often. You can mix it up and use whatever your favorite cheese is!
