Kitchen Confessions: Cream Cheese Bacon Cheddar Dip

 A few weeks ago I shared about few easy dips that were my new go-to recipes when I needed an appetizer. The Black Bean, Corn & Feta dip is delish and literally takes minutes to make.  Bonus, it's relatively healthy, too.  Today's dip is still easy to make, bakes in just 20 minutes, and not healthy, but in the yummiest way! 

It's the perfect dip for watching football, it's always a crowd pleaser, and you can make it ahead of time and just warm it up when you are ready to serve it. I made this on Saturday when it was raining and we were happy to be stuck at home watching football.  It was the perfect comfort food for that kind of day. 


Cream Cheese Bacon Cheddar Dip

Ingredients: 

  • 1 package cream cheese, softened 
  • 1 cup mayonnaise 
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar 
  • 3-4 green onions, diced 
  • 8 slices bacon, crumbled 
  • hot honey (optional) 
Directions: 
  • Mix all ingredients and spread into pie plate. 
  • Top with crumbled bacon and sprinkle a little extra cheese on top. 
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. 
  • Drizzle with hot honey (optional). 
  • Serve with an assortment of crackers. 
Speaking of the hot honey...I am obsessed with this stuff.  The Mr. and I went to a restaurant that served a wood-fire pizza drizzled with hot honey and it was delicious!  I searched for something similar and found this Kroger brand hot honey at my local grocery store.  We now put it on everything. We do make-your-own-pizza night and I drizzle it on my pizza, I put it on this dip, on roasted brussels sprouts...all sorts of things! I honestly don't even like honey, but I love this because it gives it just a little sweetness with a kick. If you have a Kroger near you be sure to grab this!

Kitchen Confessions: Black Bean, Corn & Feta Dip

A few weeks ago we went over to some friends for dinner and I was in charge of bringing the appetizers. I don't love to cook, but I love making appetizers.  I made two different ones and they are both great for a crowd, easy to make, and great for tailgating!  Since football season is finally underway and most of us are going to be watching a lot of football at home this season, I thought I would share these easy dip recipes with y'all!  Today's recipe has been passed around and shared by several of my friends. The first time I had this one I knew I wanted the recipe because I love all things with feta cheese! 


Black Bean, Corn & Feta Dip 

Ingredients: 

2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed 

2 cans white shoepeg corn, drained

1 package crumbled feta cheese 

1 bunch scallions, chopped 

1 cup apple cider vinegar 

1/2 cup olive oil 

1 tsp garlic powder 

salt and pepper to taste 

Directions: 

Combine all ingredients and serve with Scoops tortilla chips or Fritos. That's it...so easy and simple!

Kitchen Confessions: Buffalo Chicken Sliders





These Buffalo Chicken Sliders are quick and easy to make! Baked to cheesy perfection and beyond delicious! Hands down the perfect game day delight!


Football season is winding down, but the most exciting part is ramping up. It's playoff season, and the   Big Game is just around the corner! I love this time of year. You are on the edge of your seat seeing who will make it and who just misses their chance. The ups, the downs, the almost heart attack moments, the split second change of game moments...football will always be one of my favorite sports to watch and playoff season will always keep me coming back for more. 

Sadly, our home team is already out for the season, but we cheered our little hearts out this past weekend during the game. Have faith Atlanta fans this year wasn't our year for football, but I have a good feeling it will be soon!


And if the thrill of the game isn't your thing, there is all the game day food to celebrate. All the super yummy, delicious food! 

Top of the list for our hungry game day crew? These Buffalo Chicken Sliders!


They are to die for delicious, and I may or may not have had a left over one for breakfast this morning. 


The sliders contents are extremely easy to make, and I usually pop them into a slider bun, bake for a few minutes and they are game day ready. These Pepperidge Farm Bakery Classics slider buns are my favorite to use. They are just the right size! They also don't contain any artificial flavors, or high fructose corn syrup. The Pepperidge Farm Slider Buns come in five flavors - white, sesame, potato, sweet & soft, and wheat. My go-to are the Sweet & Soft buns, but I usually grab another flavor or two so our guests can have a variety.

Sliders always make for the perfect game day snack, and are the perfect size to have more than one without feeling too full. Which is a great thing, if you're like me and start to do a little stress eating during those nail biter games. 

Quick and easy Buffalo Chicken Sliders. Baked to cheesy goodness, and the Pepperidge Farm Slider Buns help make it the perfect game day snack! #RespectTheBun #LittleBunsBigWin #BakedWithCare #sponsored
