Cheesy Bacon & Ranch Dip

So it’s going to be Denver vs. Carolina in the super bowl! Excited to see it especially since it may be Peyton Manning’s last hurrah. We had the privilege of meeting him last summer and he’s so nice (and super tall, but we are really short haha)!

Nothing is better at the Super Bowl than a good appetizer, or any party for that matter. We had some friends over this past weekend and I made this Cheesy Bacon & Ranch Dip and they all loved it and asked for the recipe. It couldn’t be easier!! You can whip it up in a flash and your crowd will definitely cheer! 😉
