This Captain Rodney's Cheese Dip Is Amazing
This is my go-to dip recipe. Especially when it comes to sports season, my family can't get enough of this dip! Every time I make it, I know I'm not going home with any leftovers. Just a clean dish and lots of praise!
With cream cheese cheddar and onions, and crushed butter crackers on top, what's not to love? Not only is this the perfect dip for game nights, but it's also the perfect addition to any cookout, party, or family get-together.
Ingredients You'll Need
- Mayonnaise- Full-fat mayo gives the best creamiest texture.
- Cream cheese- Let it get to room temperature before adding it. Softened cream cheese helps the ingredients combine into a smooth and creamy texture easily.
- Cheddar cheese- grated.
- Green onions- sliced thin so they mix into the dip mixture and can be eaten easily.
- Ritz crackers- Any butter cracker brand works great. Just make sure to crush them to top the dip.
- Bacon- cooked and crumbled, or bacon bits for ultimate convenience.
- Pepper jelly- You can also use Captain Rodney's boucan pepper glaze. It has a sweet and spicy flavor like pepper jelly, so if you can't get your hands on Captain Rodney's boucan glaze brand, don't worry. Pepper jelly will mix in just as well!
How To Make Captain Rodney's Cheese Dip
Step 1: Prepare. Preheat the oven to 360°F (180ºC). For easier mixing, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature.
Step 2: Mix mayonnaise. Mix mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onions in a mixing bowl.
Step 3: Bake. Spread the mixture in an 8 or 9-inch pie dish and top with crushed butter crackers. Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through.
Step 4: Serve. Remove from the oven and top with cooked, crumbled bacon and pepper jelly. Serve with sturdy crackers, tortilla chips, or scoops. Enjoy!
