R.O.D.-Blue Cheese and Bacon Dip

Here's something you can make for Sunday.  I have people in my family that like this even though they don't usually like blue cheese.  It is really good on veggies!

I believe that I originally got this from Bariatric Eating.com

BLUE CHEESE & BACON DIP

Vegetable cooking spray
One 8-ounce pkg. reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup fat-free Half & Half
7 slices turkey bacon, crispy cooked and crumbled
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces crumbled Blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped green onion (or 4 tablespoons, if not using chives)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat a 1-quart casserole dish with vegetable cooking spray.
In a large bowl beat the softened cream cheese with Half & Half. Stir in bacon, garlic, blue cheese, chives and green onion and pepper.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle almonds over the top and continue baking for 10 minutes more.
Allow to cool slightly and serve with vegetables, apple and pear slices,....and for your family, whole grain crackers or crostini. Makes 10 servings.
