Excellent. Perfect for cool weather BBQs or gatherings. I cook the onion ahead of time and add with the bacon. Can easily halve this recipe, it easily served 12 adults as a pre-dinner snack. Also very easy to cook it in the microwave instead of the oven. To make the in the microwave, mix spread up as directed but cook on medium power for 6-7 minutes, then finish off under the grill for about 5 minutes. Leftovers are easily re-heated in microwave as well

Everyone that came in contact with just the SMELL of this was ready and waiting to dip their crackers in! I really enjoyed this, it's definitely going down in the books as a "keeper". I sauteed the onion in a bit of butter till they were soft before adding it to the mixture. I did sprinkle some garlic powder in there as well. I cooked it in the oven for 20 mins in the dish that removes from my slow cooker. Then put on the slow cooker to keep warm till the potluck. Great recipe, thanks!

Made this for Christmas Eve. Served it with French Bread, crackers, and tortilla chips. The French Bread was the best. Even better reheated the next day. Just be sure to stir before serving to better mix the flavors.
