Her Charleston Cheese Dip was one of the first recipes I saw when I purchased her book.
I mean with all that yummy cheese and bacon how can it be bad. I love sharp cheddar cheese so that was my first attraction to this recipe.
It also calls for cream cheese and Monterey jack cheese. This recipe is like cheese heaven showered in bacon. Really that's the only way to describe it.

I really didn't think her second one could compare to her first, but I was wrong. There really hasn't been a recipe in either cookbook that I haven't like.
For New Years Eve I made her Hot Corn Dip which is over the top good. I could literally sit and eat that stuff with a spoon. Both of these dips
would be great for a Super bowl get together. These dips are defiantly not chic food because believe me even the guys loved this stuff. If you ask me I would make both of these dips because it is just too hard to choose.

Yummy, you can't loose with bacon and cheese! I also think it would be yummy to use green chilies in place of the green onion.
I LOVE Trisha's new cookbook! It's been a delight to cook from...and this cheese dip you made looks amazing.
mmmm....so cheesy!!!
Laura I bet green chiles would be a nice substitute. I love green onions but hubby hates them. He likes green chiles though.
Wow! I've been looking for some yummy super bowl treat ideas and this looks to die for. I think I may have to try it.
I can't wait to try while watching the Packers this afternoon!!!
This looks delicious...I've been wanting to find a new dip recipe and this is perfect. We all love bacon, cheese and onions!
Wow this sounds good! I can't wait to try it.
Are there people who dont like cheese and bacon? lol
Leslie the little girl that I sit for hates cheese. I don't know about that cause is it really possible? She is proof that it is.
Hi Tina! What a lovely potluck you have going here! Look at all the wonderful dishes! This is my first time linking up to your sunday gathering! I am linking a great Mark Bittman recipe for roast pork with garlic and rosemary that helped me get over my fears of cooking a roast! All the best and enjoy your sunday with your family! Alex
I've seen a few of Trisha's recipes and they seem just like things my mom would make. I linked up a creamy jalapeƱo dip that can also be used as a salad dressing, taco sauce, baked potato topping, or drizzle for shrimp. Have a great week!
I've got both of her books and I really like that dip. I know what you mean about eating it by the spoonful.

Oh my! This looks absolutely delicious! I'm a sucker for dips of all kind and this would be awesome!!!
Oh my that looks wonderful. you had me at cheese thanks for sharing and the linky. I love to check out the different recipes
I got Oklahoma Cooking from a Georgia Kitchen for Christmas, and I agree--I haven't found one recipe that we have not loved. I will have to check her newer book out....this dip looks awesome!!
In the cookbook, does it say how many servings the dip is supposed to make and what the serving size is? Thanks for your help.

Served this at the Super Bowl. Oh yeah, this was good and easy that's for sure.Everyone kept coming back for more! That's a good sign. Never thought about using green chilies, that would be good also.
I have her new cookbook, also gave one to my oldest daughter. Now I know she will cook out of it!
Thanks for the post.
Greetings! I saw the picture of this on Pinterest, so I 'pinned' it and came over here for the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Best,

Just found this recipe, and tried it this weekend. It was awesome!! I think I may heat up the leftovers for lunch. I will definitely be making it again for our upcoming Super Bowl party.
Thanks so much for the Charleston Cheese dip recipe. It was delicious!
Somehow I'm just now seeing this recipe, and my mouth is watering!!! This would be a great new dip to take to parties. I probably shouldn't be reading your blog at supper-time...I'm drooling!
Blessings,
Leslie
Could this be made in a crockpot? Wondering if anyone tried it? Looks FABULOUS!
Does anyone know if the mayo was substituted for greek yogurt if it would come out right?? thoughtS??
I'm going to try crab in mine. Horror stories?!?
This came out so good, thank you for posting!
Great with vegetables too, not just crackers.
My husband hates mayonnaise. Do you think it would still work using sour cream instead?
