The holidays are right around the corner and if you're like me, you'll be hosting family and friends for dinner, drinks and get togethers.  I always end up looking or creating a few new recipes to serve during this time of year and I've decided to start early this year.

Using some of my favorite Sargento Shredded Cheese, I've created a delicious Warm Bacon Cheese Dip that you can make in about 30 minutes.

Sargento Shredded Natural Cheese is available in 30 versatile varieties, unique blends and distinct cuts plus they are always cut from blocks of 100% real, natural cheese.
