Charleston Cheese Dip

I saw Trisha Yearwood make this on her show and had to try it and share! This dip is loaded with cheese, mayonnaise, cream cheese, a little bit of cayenne for some spice and it gets topped with bacon. So easy and delicious. Make this dip for any type of gathering like a game day party, girls night, or barbeque.

Tips for Charleston Cheese Dip 

  • Serve this dish with any type of cracker, tortilla chip, or Fritos for dipping. 
  • Making this dip ahead of time: You can mix all the ingredients together up to the green onions and cover the mix with saran wrap. The day you plan on having your party spread it into the baking dish and add the crackers and bacon. Then bake it in the oven. 
  • The Ritz crackers are for sucking up all the grease from the cheese. 
  • Change up the spices and use some Cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, or Montreal seasoning.

    That is not a crockpot. It is a white soup bowl... The top picture is a glass pyrex dish. Are you on the right page? 🙂

    It would be nice if you would publish the Crock-Pot version of this since the picture shows it in a crock pot and what is with the bag with staples in it explain please?

    Please correct amount of mayo. It is 1/2 cup, not 2 cups. I watched her make this on foodnetwork website to check because mine did not taste like usual. Then noticed this site has 3 times the Mayo. I just googled for recipe and used first one that lists items. Sure wish I had clicked on FoodNetWork recipe☹️

    This is a great dip but I think you've got the amount of mayo wrong. Trisha's original recipe on the Food Network site says 1/2 cup mayo - not 2 cups. Figured it might be a typo. 🙂
