Swiss & Bacon Dip

My aunt introduced me to this recipe years ago.  She said you could founder on it.  Now that is a horse reference and definitely something you DON’T want to happen!  It’s a bad deal.  But this recipe, it’s excellent

And for me to say this it must be pretty darn good b/c I’m generally not a Swiss cheese fan.  By the way, when I was a little kid I watched a special somewhere, sometime on Swiss Cheese.  The way that the cheese gets the holes in it is as it is aging it expels gas, or else, they said it “farts”.  Yup, food for thought 🙂
