Bacon Cheddar Dip

Thanks to brother-in-law Kevin for this recipe. Kevin puts in some sliced fresh mushrooms so go ahead and add some if you want to! Also, delicious! This is a nice change from dips with salsa or hot sauce. Rich and creamy, serve with taco chips. Buy a good quality thicker cut bacon, it really is worth it.
