This Bacon Pimento Cheese Dip Recipe is perfect for football season! I mean, seriously, there’s bacon. It has to be good.

Oh man marrying a southern man and spending enough time in Alabama to fall in love with the south definitely broadened my food love categories.  Like Pimento cheese!  Say what?  Seriously though this stuff is delicious, and if you don’t have pimentos around, just dice up some red pepper.

This recipe is amped up with bacon and is a perfect football dip.  And if you are lucky enough to have leftovers you are in for the best grilled cheese treat ever.
