This pumpkin hard cider cheese dip is great for game day, thanksgiving or as a delicious appetizer anytime!
Ingredients: · 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped · 2 tablespoons unsalted butter · 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour · 1 clove garlic, minced · 1 12-ounce bottle hard cider · 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree · 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard · 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce · Kosher salt · 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice · Pinch of cayenne pepper · 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces · 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces) · Chopped fresh chives, for topping |
Instructions:
1. Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
