OH MY YUM! This CrockPot Cheesy Bacon Kale Dip is the best use of Kale I have ever seen. Check out this amazing recipe! @SargentoCheese #Choppedathome #ad

I love just putting out a spread of dips and snacks during the Summer. The kids love to do that for dinner at least one night a week. It makes it easy to come and go as you please, and they LOVE having a selection!

I decided to have fun with snack night this week and we are participating in the “Chopped at Home” contest from Sargento®

The challenge is to use

  • Sargento® Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar
  • Kale
  • Oyster Crackers
  • Bacon

to make create a Chopped-inspired dish and share it for your chance to win. The prize? $10,000, an appearance on Food Network*, plus a trip to the Food Network New York City Wine and Food Festival! How fun!


Kale Bacon dip-1I grabbed my ingredients including the Sargento Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar. YUM!

Kale Bacon dip-2I got out my skillet and browned a few pieces of chopped bacon and about 2 cups of kale (that was pre-washed & chopped.

Kale Bacon dip-1-2It did not take long for the kale to cook down. When It did I squeezed some fresh lemon juice over the top. I continued to cook to brown the bacon a bit more.

Kale Bacon dip-1-4Once it was all crispy I mixed the bacon & kale with 2 packages of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of the Sargento 4 State Cheddar Cheese.  I added a dash of garlic salt too.

After it was stirred well, I added it to my smallest crock pot on low. I really need to get one of those tiny dip crock pots.

I still needed to use the oyster crackers.  I melted some butter with a little bit of garlic salt, and poured it over about 1 1/2 cups of broken up oyster crackers. Gave it a stir, and sprinkled it on top of the dip for some added crunch. I also sprinkled a little more of the Sargento 4 State Cheddar Cheese Blend cause….why not?

The result was something sinful and amazing! I served this dip with tortilla chips,  but you could even use kale chips!
