I am a HUGE fan of Cobb Loaf Dip recipes, and this Bacon Cheese and Sun-dried Tomato Cobb Loaf Dip recipe is my new favourite!
I came up with the combination of bacon, cheese and sun-dried tomatoes when I prepping for Mr 3’s birthday party back in May and had a container of sun-dried tomatoes in the fridge which needed to be used. I added these to my Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf recipe (which I didn’t think could be improved!) and everyone absolutely LOVED it – even the kids!
While most of this Cobb Loaf was demolished during the party, there was some left over which we covered and popped into the fridge. The next day I re-heated it in the oven for my lunch (hey I was pregnant at the time!!) and it tasted even BETTER than the day before – if that’s possible!
This Bacon Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato Cobb Loaf Dip recipe is perfect for entertaining as you can make it advance (just add the dip to the cobb loaf when you want to serve) and best of all there are no dishes to clean up afterwards! It’s also a great snack to enjoy on a lazy weekend while you are watching a movie, just wait until the kids are in bed though so you don’t have to share!

This dip looks and sounds amazing. I’ve never made a hot dip before, so this will be perfect for Halloween guests and over the festive period. Although I will have to practice on the family first. I just know they’re going to love it.

Oh you will have to try it, you won’t be able to stop making them!!!
