Bacon Double Cheeseburger Dip

Another recipe from Pinterest that I knew I'd be trying out for our non-Super Bowl wing frying night.  I adjusted mine just a bit because Brian has convulsions at the thought of mayonnaise in anything, so I left that out and added more cream cheese and sour cream.  It tasted great, but I think I should have taken it out just a tad bit earlier so it was still super creamy.  I purchased the tomato and lettuce to add to it and when we were cleaning up at the end of the night, I saw them sitting patiently on the counter... oh well!  It was easy enough to make, so I'll try it again and tweak it a bit more and certainly take it out of the oven on time.  A great appetizer to take somewhere!   Do check out the blog, Closet Cooking, they have tons of great recipes and have lots of pictures of the dip (as seen above) that will make your mouth water.
