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!!
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.
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.

Dave would go nuts over this. Bacon and cheese is his favourite. I’ll definitely have to give it a crack at our next bbq 🙂 #teamIBOT
Lauren says
Sounds great, you could even leave the bacon out if you prefer 🙂
[email protected] says
Lauren, one of my all time favourites! My mum makes this with crab meat, and I could almost eat the lot x
Lauren says
Oh my gosh, that would be amazing!
Bev Battams says
The crab meat cob sounds delish. Could you forward it please – it would be sensational here in Australia for Chrismtas as we lean towards seafood instead of hot roast.
Robyn says
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 :))

Really? Well if you even go back to carbs you should definitely try this!

Dean says
this looks amazing!! Can you serve it cold?
Lauren says
Thanks Dean. You could, but it’s best served warm 🙂
Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me says
Is it bad that I want to make this just for our family – because I know that my hubby and I will be the only ones that eat it – YUMMO! xxx
Tania says
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
Lauren says
Ooh that sounds great Tania, I will definitely be trying that next time!
Aimee says
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 🙂
Lauren says
Hi Aimee,
You sure can – just use a whisk 🙂
Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy it!
jade says
It also works as an amazing dip for doritos we have it every Christmas have for years but we don’t add the cream cheese or spring onions
michael says
Why is it called the Thermomix when you literally use it for 3 seconds to chop the bacon and chives… then spend 20 mins washing it out…
Rebecca says
You can also add a french onion soup mix.
Though I have never tried making one with cream!
Lauren says
I love a french onion soup mix dip, wish I was eating one right now!
Vanessa says
I make a curry chicken one and put in large hamburger roll for a easy Sunday night dinner.
Lauren says
That sounds amazing!

Lauren says

Pamela says
I have made this but I add a packet of Continental Spring Vegetable Soup.My Brother and Sister-In-Law cannot stop eating it. They eat until it is all gone.
Lauren says
That sounds like a great idea, I’ll have to try it next time 🙂
Kerri says
We enjoy this with curry powder added it’s delist!!!!
Lauren says
Yum, that’s such a great idea!
Charmian Pearson says
It’s in the oven now. I’m going to an Easter party tonight so we’ll see how it goes. I’m a bit nervous about it lol.
Lauren says
I hope you enjoyed it!
Tracey says
I always add corn kernals and champignons when frying bacon and onions and 1 box of frozen spinach (thawed and water squeezed out) .
Lauren Matheson says
That’s such a great idea, sounds delicious 🙂
Corrina says
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!!
Lauren Matheson says
Ooh what great ingredients, I’m going to give it a try!
Roslyn says
we make a chicken and corn version as well. SOOOOO good
Lauren Matheson says
Oh that would be amazing!!
Jo-Anne Bannerman says
I love the cheese and bacon cob loaf, it is fantastic and tastes wonderfully, I like another favour it is spinish and ricotta ,done like the other one, there are so many ingredients that. You can us, a great dish and everyone loves it…….
Simone says
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
Lauren Matheson says
That sounds like a great way to make it too!
lydia says
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?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Lydia, I believe thickened cream is the same as heavy cream xx
