“This a recipe that my family has made for holiday gatherings for over 30 plus years…” Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate’s Executive Chef Robert Ash had to say about this delectable dip. “Every year we would have chipped beef dip and this dip. There was always a empty platter left when the day/night was done. It is very easy and everyone loves bacon and bread. It also makes a great sandwich spread or dip with vegetables.”
