Loaded Baked Potato Dip

Any decent Big Game snack table has to have a few substantial dips, and this loaded baked potato dip, with its three pounds of bacon, is nothing if not substantial. It's also shaped like a football, which of course has been proven to taste better to people drinking beer than dips in a bowl. Speaking of beer, I think this will pair nicely with something cheap, domestic, and in a can.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 6 cups sour cream

  • ½ pound shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup chopped green onion

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup sour cream, or as needed

  • 1 ½ cups chopped green onion, green parts only, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Pour bacon into a colander set over a bowl to drain and cool to room temperature; finely chop cooled bacon.

  2. Stir 6 cups sour cream, Cheddar cheese, 1 cup chopped green onion, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together in a large bowl until well-mixed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.

  3. Spread sour cream mixture into a football shape in the center of a serving platter. Spread bacon over the top to resemble the outside of a football.

  4. Place 1/4 cup sour cream in a piping bag; pipe 1 line on each end of the "football" and 1 set of "laces" down the center of the "football". Spread 1 1/2 cups chopped green onion around the "football" to resemble "grass".
