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.

You can also add a french onion soup mix.
Though I have never tried making one with cream!
Lauren
I love a french onion soup mix dip, wish I was eating one right now!
michael
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…
jade
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
Aimee
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
Hi Aimee,
You sure can – just use a whisk 🙂
Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy it!
Tania
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
Ooh that sounds great Tania, I will definitely be trying that next time!

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
