PEPPER JELLY CHEESE DIP


this is perfect for a party appetizer for all the holiday festivities coming up.....

1 -- 8oz cream cheese (room temperature to soften works best)
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese (room temperature to soften works best)
½ cup mayonnaise (low fat works)
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 small jar of pepper jelly (I found it at Fresh Market -- "Hot Pepper Jelly")
8-10 strips of bacon
1 box ritz crackers

* Cook all bacon extra crispy and set aside (you can do this first, middle or last)
* Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and green onions together and put in baking dish. Crumble 6 - 8 ritz crackers and sprinkle over top.
* Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes.
* Crumble bacon and sprinkle over the top of the baked cheese mixture.
* Warm pepper jelly until runny and pour over the bacon and cheese.
* Use ritz crackers to dip
