Brie, Bacon, Garlic, and Sun Dried Tomatoes Cheese Dip {Easy} {Quick 30 Minute} and Super Bowl 50 Party Dip Menu

I have no problem serving a dip as dinner.  Yes, I am that kind of a mother and wife, and it isn't just the result of feeling slightly stressed from working part-time and having 3 children.  I've been having dip for dinner since my college days.  

Sure, my Mom may be disappointed in my proper dinner/mothering skills, but... dip is oh so delicious.

We've had this oh so Easy Brie Cheese Dip with Bacon, Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes a couple time this past week.  It's delicious and I had to "master the recipe." :) 

Luckily, my husband is just as supportive of testing recipes as well as eating an appetizer for dinner.  We really are a match made in heaven.

Grab some Brie at Costco (a great price) or anywhere else and quick and easy whip up this fancy and elegant sounding appetizer in a flash.  You'll be able to get this dip on the table in 30 minutes.  Go ahead and enjoy it's deliciousness with a sliced baguette, chips, crackers, or toasted cubed french bread.  

Brie, Bacon, Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes Dip 
{Quick and Easy}
Recipe: Alohamora 
Active Time: 10 minutes
Inactive Time: 20-30 minutes
Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:
1 (8oz) brie, cubed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. sun dried tomatoes, drained and diced
1/3 c. bacon, chopped or bits
Serve with: french bread cubed and toasted, crackers, chips, or baguette slices

Directions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and spray or grease a small oven safe bowl. If you want to toast your bread for the dip, throw your bread on a pan and stick it in the oven while it is preheating.  You can easily spray or brush on some olive oil to get a good toastiness.
2. Cube your brie on a cutting board. You can barely cut off the rind (the harder crust like part) if you don't like it.  Some people think the rind is bitter, but I honestly can't tasted much of a difference. Cube the brie.
3. In a small bowl mix the garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and bacon together. 
4. In the greased bowl layer half of the garlic sun dried tomatoes mixture on the bottom.  Pour all of the cubed brie on top, and then the other half of the garlic tomatoes mixture.  
5. Place the bowl in the oven and bake the dip at 325 for 20-25 minutes until it is completely melted.  After 10 minutes stir the cheese dip and return it to the oven for the remaining time.
6. Serve the brie dip hot with crackers, chips or bread. 
7. Enjoy! 
8. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed container.  I prefer to reheat it in the oven rather than the microwave, but either works.  To be honest, I'll be surprised if you have any leftover.
