ingredients
1/2 cup sour cream
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
4 slices cooked bacon, coarsely crumbled
directions
Combine the sour cream, blue cheese, cream cheese, tabasco, onion, garlic and celery seeds in a food processor. Process until desired consistency (should be almost pureed smooth). Add the bacon and pulse-process to combine (you don't want it pureed after adding the bacon).
Transfer the bacon cheese dip to a covered container and chill for 2-4 hours (or overnight). Remove the bacon cheese dip from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving.
Serve the dip with veggie dippers, crackers, or potato chips.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

I've made this both as low carb (using full fat sour cream and cream cheese) and also using nonfat ingredients and low fat bacon bits. The blue cheese really makes it tasty either way. I usually serve it with fresh veggie dippers for either version (cauliflower is particularly good with this)

My husband is SO not a "foodie": he has two ratings for anything new I serve him -- "Make again" or "Don't make again." This is a "Make again, ANYTIME." I'll try to be a little more specific. This is great stuff for adults -- or those few cool kids, 'tweens-and-up, who (with YOUR help, moms and dads!) are already growing into their adult palates. The Worcestershire can be either adjusted to or combined with (to taste) either hot sauce or horseradish mustard (mustard is ALWAYS always a great choice with sharp cheeses). I personally could do without the celery seed; try substituting the chopped fresh herb of your choice. I particularly like thyme with this, but rosemary is also refreshing. And of course the quantity of bacon (mmmmm, BACON! :D)) can always be increased "to taste" and/or "to texture." Finally, what is a LOW-CARB dip doing by suggesting that it be served with classic carb-heavy dippers?! Oh NO, fellow Atkins adherents! Serve this AS a dip with with baked veggie chips or raw crudites, or heated -- loosened with a little heavy cream or chicken stock -- and tossed with steamed veggies or zero-carb Miracle Noodles
