If you make my crispy keto crackers, you have to try them with this quick and easy cheese & bacon dip! I made mine with cheddar, caramelised onion, chili pepper and crisped-up bacon. Caramelised onion brings a sweet umami, while chili pepper adds extra heat and takes the traditional cheese dip to the next level. Apart from cheddar, you can try Swiss cheese or even mozzarella!
