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.

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 :))
Lauren
Really? Well if you even go back to carbs you should definitely try this!
Lisa@RandomActsOfZen
Lauren, one of my all time favourites! My mum makes this with crab meat, and I could almost eat the lot x
Lauren
Oh my gosh, that would be amazing!
Bev Battams
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.

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
Sounds great, you could even leave the bacon out if you prefer 🙂
Jess @ Sweetest Menu
I have never made a cobb loaf either but now I desperately WANT ONE! That cheesy goodness makes me weak at the knees!
Lauren
Oh you should totally make one !
Tarcey
I cook my filling in the saucepan , and then pour it into the cob loaf, then place in oven till bread pieces are brown. Its quicker and i think it tastes better too!
