Every year, our agency does a Dip & Give event to support United Way. They are one of our biggest funders and we so value their financial support in order to continue providing services daily. You should really check out all of the agencies across the state that they support as they are doing so much good through such a variety of agencies. Anyhow, every year, I love trying new dip recipes out on my coworkers 😉 This is our third year and it’s really one of my favorite events that we put on annually. This year, I opted to go for a cheesy bacon combo, and landed on this this that mimics one of our other favorite apps. And let me tell you, this Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip was quite the success!
