Twice Baked Potato Dip

I can't believe I'm posting this recipe.

Not because I don't love it.  And I trust that you'll love it too.  The taste factor is unanimous.  And even with this version it's tasty, despite missing one, apparently critical, ingredient.  I promise.  But I can tell that the name Twice Baked Potato is going to conjure up a flavor memory in your mind that does not exactly coincide with what you're going to find here.

You see, I don't eat bacon.  And I know that the sheer thought of such a thing makes me a weird freak or garrish monster of a human being in your eyes.  But, I don't eat swine.  Never have.  Most likely, never will.  I'm just not a fan of any form of pig meat.

No sausage.  No pork.  No pepperoni.  No ham.  And absolutely, no bacon.

But, I can surrender to the idea that bacon is a staple of the well-known twice-baked potato, and should therefore be included in a twice baked potato dip.  So I've written the recipe as I have made it for myself.  Should you choose to add bacon, I won't stop you.  Or judge you.  Just understand that this dip tastes just the way me, myself and I are used to twice baked potatoes.

Now that we've gotten that disclaimer out of the way,  I can tell you that I have been drooling over this computer because of the fact that I type with two hands and have nothing available in which to dunk a potato chip into this amazing dip sitting right next to me.  I can already tell that this bowl will not make it to Super Bowl Sunday, just like everything else this week.  You know, someday I need to stop snacking on appetizers long enough to think about making a real, traditional meal again...


Twice Baked Potato Dip

1 8oz. brick of cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 cups cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced green onions
1 tbsp Frank's Red Hot
Salt & Pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients together and serve in a bowl.

I've been eating this with Low Sodium Potato chips, but will be serving these on Super Bowl Sunday with a heaping helping of hot waffle fries.  Yum!
