Caramelized Onion and Bacon Dip

1: Start off by cooking down the bacon and saving a few tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan.

2: Next, throw the onions in the same pan with the bacon fat, and add about 5 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium low heat for about 45 minutes, making sure to stir often.

3: Combine the cream cheese, mayo, green onions, half of the Monterey Jack, and 2-3 tablespoons of Sweet Preacher BBQ Rub. Mix and taste to adjust seasoning.

4: Add the chopped bacon and caramelized onions, and fully incorporate.

5: Transfer mixture to an 8-inch cast iron skillet, level out the dip, add the rest of the cheese, and top with a good sprinkle of BBQ rub.

6: Bake in the oven at 425°F for 15-20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and nicely browned.

7: Top with chives and serve with toasted baguette slices.
