Hot Butternut & Bacon Dip
This hot & gooey dip is delicious with crackers or spread on chunks of gluten free flat bread.
While sauteing the squash, add in a bit of water as needed to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Once it’s tender, place in a small casserole dish (the final dip will be about 2 cups, so choose an appropriate size dish – not too large, or you can portion everything into ramekin dishes for individual portions).
Turn off the heat, stir in half the cheese and pour everything into a small casserole dish and mix well. Top with remaining cheese and broil until bubbly and golden brown.
