Mushrooms, bacon, and thyme pair so well together in this rich and creamy dip.
You will love it!!
Serve right after preparing, or you can make it ahead of time.
I prefer it at room temperature or a little warm.
It's amazing when served with my microwave potato chips. Or just use regular potato chips or some veggies to serve.

Ingredients
- 6 slices center-cut bacon
- 1 large Vidalia onion diced
- 16 oz mushrooms sliced

- 8 ounce cream cheese full-fat or reduced-fat
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt 16 oz

Instructions
- Put bacon in a large skillet and heat over medium. Cook until bacon is crispy & done. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Wipe skillet of all but 1-2 teaspoons of bacon grease.
- Add onions to the bacon grease and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and thyme and stir for 30 seconds. Add half of the bacon. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, stir together cream cheese, yogurt, and chives. Stir in mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with remaining bacon. Really good with these microwave potato chips
