Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf Recipe

by 53 Comments

Would you believe that I’ve never actually made a Cobb Loaf Dip before?  Crazy I know. A couple of weekends ago I decided this was something I needed to rectify ASAP and the result was this AMAZING Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf Recipe!!

Cheese and Bacon Cobb Loaf

I chose to try a Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf recipe that I found scribbled in the margins of an old recipe book – and after all, who doesn’t love bacon and cheese?!  The beauty of this recipe is that it’s sooooo adaptable and you really add (or omit) whatever ingredients you like.

Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf

Apart from a mild cheesy landslide which developed while the Cobb Loaf was in the oven, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out and my three taste testers also gave it a big tick of approval. This easy Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf is the perfect addition for when you are next entertaining, you might also like to serve it with these Beef and Vegetable Sausage Rolls, Mini Ham and Cheese Quiches or this Baileys Chocolate Ripple Cake too.

Another thing which is great about this Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf recipe, is that you can also prepare it in advance and then simply pop it into the over an hour or so before you want to serve it – perfect if you are entertaining.

Tips for making this Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf Recipe:

  • To save time, you can pre-cook your bacon and spring onions and store in your fridge until needed.
  • This recipe can be made the day before it’s needed, to re-heat just cover it in foil and bake in a 190 degree oven until the dip is heated through.
  • It’s best to use softened cream cheese as it will make mixing the ingredients together much easier.
  • You can add extra ingredients to this recipe, corn kernels, spinach leaves and sun dried tomatoes are some of our favourite add ins.

    I can’t believe I’ve never even heard of a cob loaf before!! It’s looks delicious – especially as I am off the carbs at the moment. I could eat that right now :))

    My lot love this, I make it heaps, I don’t add the thickened cream, but while the onions and bacon is cooking I also add a teaspoon of mustard powder and a teaspoon of curry powder…… Yum! Just gives it a little lift of flavour

    Hi Lauren,
    Thanks for sharing. Can you mix the ingredients without using an electric mixer? I don’t have one, ha!
    Hope you’re having a gorgeous day 🙂

    I always add corn kernals and champignons when frying bacon and onions and 1 box of frozen spinach (thawed and water squeezed out) .

    This is my Spinach dip recipe! I get so disappointed when I try other spinach dips at parties after you’ve had this one! Slight variations: 1 C Mayonnaise in place of the heavy cream. Add 1C fresh spinach chopped or frozen works too, just drain it really well. I also add two/three cloves of garlic. Oh my goodness, its to die for!!

    I make this recipe, however I cook all ingredients in a saucepan first, minus cream. Then once cooked pour mixture into a warm cob loaf that has been toasted in the oven.
    I have also made a loaf of bread in the bread maker and used that instead of a Cobb loaf, now that is to die for

    this looks great, but could you tell me what thicken cream is? is it the same as heavy cream or is it like clotted cream?
