Step 1

Cook bacon with your preferred method. I always microwave whole strips, but it you are chopping it, probably better to do it on the burner.

Step 2

Transfer 2 T of bacon drippings to a 4 cup measuring cup and stir in mayonnaise, hot sauce and onion. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Now add your freshly grated cheese. Get out your immersion blender and pulse until everything is silky and blended. An alternative is to use a food processor.

Step 4

Chill if you have time and serve with crackers or celery!
