Directions
Smoky-Sweet Bacon Cheese Spread, Who doesnt like smoky sweet salty flavors? This may be a mix of Mediterranean and Southwestern flavors but they really work well together Give this as a gift in a basket along with things to serve it with and perhaps a bottle of ground chipotle chile powder You could include a pretty serving platter and spreading knife as well You can make tortilla wheels or stuffed mushrooms with this too!, This is a very interesting combination of flavors I like the sweet- spicy- salty mix The only thing I changed was to replace the ground chipotle, which I did not have, with hot/sharp paprika (brought back from Hungary) I served with crackers but since I have some left, I will be trying it wrapped in tortilla also Thanks for sharing!
