Cheesy Bacon Dip Recipe (Warm, Baked & Crowd-Favorite)

The Easiest Warm Bacon Dip for Parties, Game Day, or Keto Snacks

This warm cheesy bacon dip is a baked, crowd-pleasing appetizer made with cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, crispy bacon, and green onions. It’s perfect for parties, game day spreads, potlucks, or anytime you want something comforting and cheesy without a lot of prep.

It comes together fast, bakes in one dish, and works just as well for low-carb and keto eaters when served with fresh veggies instead of crackers.

Why You’ll Love This Dip

• Ready in about 35 minutes from start to finish
• Only 5 main ingredients
• Warm, creamy, and perfect for scooping
• Easy to serve keto or low carb

I like to cook an extra slice of bacon and save a little green onion to sprinkle over the top after baking. It makes the dip look extra inviting — and gives you more bacon, which is never a bad thing.

Ingredients & Supplies

Ingredients

• Softened cream cheese
• Sour cream
• Shredded cheese
• Cooked bacon
• Sliced green onions

Tip: Shredding cheese from a block helps it melt more smoothly, but pre-shredded cheese will still work just fine.

Supplies

• Mixing bowl and spoon or hand mixer
• 9-inch pie plate or 1-quart baking dish
• Oven

I use an electric hand mixer to combine everything quickly, and a simple glass pie plate works perfectly if you don’t have a smaller baking dish.
