CHEESY VEGGIE BACON
DIP
A delicious dip that will be sure to be enjoyed by your
guests. I have made it three times now and each time there are no leftovers! Serve with low-carb crackers,
veggie sticks (carrots, celery, peppers), pork rinds or cheese chips (just
small grated cheese piles baked in the oven on parchment paper). Quick and easy, this dip is one that you will
return to again for that reason, and mostly also because it is very good! The two cheeses I chose are awesome together.
