Delicious Pumpkin and Bacon Dip Appetizer

I have a delicious appetizer recipe for you all today that is a bit of a twist on the typical Pumpkin Dip recipes that you see everywhere. I’m not saying I don’t like sweet, in fact, you will find my Sweet Pumpkin Dip Recipe on the blog too, but sometimes you need to spice it up a bit!  I love a bit of heat in my recipes and who doesn’t love bacon?!

Now that it’s Fall and I know most people’s entertainment calendar seems to explode this time of year, I wanted to share a delicious appetizer that is not only easy to make, but festive!  And, if you look in your pantry, you may already have several of these ingredients on hand already. The pumpkin in this dip gives it that warm Fall color, and the bacon, spices, and Chardonnay give it a flavor that will leave your guests coming back for more.

This Pumpkin and Bacon Dip Recipe can be served warm or cold, but I personally prefer it warm. I recommend pairing it with the Chardonnay you used in the recipe.

You will notice that I used Chardonnay in this appetizer recipe, and I did that for two reasons:

1. I love wine
2. It gives it an extra punch of flavor
