Hot + Cheesy Roasted Red Pepper Dip.
I think I’ve created a monster.
Sooooo you know how I bought my husband that remote control helicopter for Christmas?
Well well well.
Someone went to Best Buy yesterday. And came home with a remote control car.
Now I not only have objects flying at my head, but I also have them slamming into my feet. I’m wondering what would have happened had I married someone my own age and not 10 years older.
But now… it really doesn’t matter since I’ve easily aged 15 years in the last four days as I watch him try to “softly land” the helicopter on my brand new iPad’s lovely face.
Just kidding.
I hope.
I’m really praying that was an accident. The three times it happened.
Cheesy Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces asiago cheese, freshly grated
- 4 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 4 ounces fontina cheese, freshly grated
- 1 roasted red pepper, from a jar/roasted yourself, patted dry and chopped
- 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. If you use red peppers from a jar (in water), pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, asiago, parmesan, 3 ounces of fontina, red peppers, bacon and pepper, and mash thoroughly with a fork. Place in an oven safe dish, then top with remaining fontina. Bake for 25 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly on top. Serve hot with crackers and chips.

I could make a meal out of this dip!
Uhhhhh I def did. For lunch.
I’ve been making a very similar dip for a while (but with pepper jack cheese) and it is delicious! I’ll have to try your version because we all know everything is better with bacon in it!
hahhahaha. Your husband totally cracks me up. You two should do a vlog. And then send me this dip :)
He actually wants to start a blog himself. I’m scared.
I would read that in a heartbeat.
About Nascar and cut off shirts? ;)
I need this dip. I’ll skip the bacon but something warm and gooey and ooey and just mmmm, good. I’m in love with the TJs hot pepper jelly…somehow I need to incorporate that too for maximum red pepper goodness :)
I am loving this blog! Your sense of humor jives perfectly with mine, which probably should scare me, but totally doesn’t! Thanks for bringing smiles & laughter!
Yum! Love how easy this looks and I think it would be just as yummy sans bacon. ;)
if i’d bought nate a remote control helicoptor for Christmas i honestly don’t even know if i would see him inside of our house for at least a week. i don’t think it matters the age of the guy…they’re all little boys!
hot + cheesy anything will do for me. and i love that this is mayo-free. mayonnaise sort of scares me… !
Me, too! I avoid most mayo dishes…not a fan.
I just took my famous red pepper jelly to my dinner last night … this goes right in theme! (OK, the famous part I added) :)
you’ve made me realize something these past two days.
Next time I’m all, “oh…what should i get for Nicholas?” or “what should I get for my brother?” or ” what should I get for any-male-in-my-life-possibly-even-my-grandfather?”
Remind me about this hellicopter.
Oh I will!!!!
Your funny! My Husband is 10 years older then me to and sometimes, well most of the time, I think they are so immature! Glad I didn’t buy my Husband any toys, but he has hot rod he’s working on and named her Christine, after the movie. He tells me all the time, don’t get Christine upset. What a jerk! lol
Anywho, the roasted red pepper dip, looks amazing. I definitely need to make this!! I love anything that has peppers in it!!
Omg. My husband is 17 years older than me and easily 20 years younger than me in terms of maturity. I feel your pain.
Girl, I feel your pain. A few years ago my hubby got one of those and he gets it out once in awhile and tries to “softly land” on objects….my head, my leg, and so forth. He also enjoys re-enacting scenes from Godzilla or King Kong with the cats.
Hopefully you can get him to learn how to deliver drinks to you with the RC car!
I love stories about your husband…I imagine your household as being very entertaining! :)
On a whim my mom got my dad a remote control helicopter last year (2010) for Christmas. The guys spent the WHOLE day in the garage flying it around. So my husband received one for his birthday in July…our tv has numerous scratches where he didn’t land it quite so softly. He hasn’t tried to land on my ipad yet thankfully.
Yet another amazing recipe…thank you!
Question…who is your hand model in all the pics? Any openings? I think that would be THE BEST job in the world, as long as you can sample after pics are taken. :-)
Hahaha 99.9% of the time it is my hand, and I would GLADLY hire someone to model since it takes me about 20 photos to get the picture right.
Yes, you’ve created a monstger! :) This dip sounds WONderful. I love your photo with the dark background.
Remind him it is an iPad, not a LANDING pad! :) And goooood luck!!!
Jessica! You totally read my mind! We are having an all-appetizer new year’s eve feast (‘Appy New Year, in case you were interested…har har). This dip looks like it might make the menu. YUM!
Hahaha, OMG, love the name.
Oh my gosh…this post is so funny! At least my husband waited until we had a son to purchase all of those remote control toys! You are going to be in serious trouble when you have children! :-) This dip looks insanely delicious, and will grace my appetizer table on New Year’s Eve for sure! Yum!
Kim… I’m seriously afraid of what might happen if we ever have sons.
New Year’s Eve app… Done! Perfect!
You had me at hot and cheesy.
I will make this as one of the many appetizers on Sat!
I love all that cheesy goodness! :-)
Yum. Anything that has cheese is automatically yummy. I did a post similar to this on my blog. Cheese dips are great.
My husband works 6 days a week and usually nothing shorter than 12 hour days so I’m usually complaining he’s never home. Then he comes home, or gets a random day off and starts doing stuff just like this that make me wonder why I ever wanted him home in the first place!
This is pretty much the same as us too. He only works 5 days but we never see each other during the week. Let’s just say I’m a bit… relieved that he went back to work today.
This looks so good, especially on this super cold day!
This looks dangerously good. I would not be happy about a toy helicopter landing on my iPAd! lol
I love the square plates! The dip sounds absolutely fabulous, I wouldn’t have trouble consuming the whole thing, I’m sure!
That little square plate was like $1 at Crate and Barrel a few days ago. :)
I think I know where I’ll spend my lunch hour today…Crate and Barrel is right across the street from my office. Thanks!
This dip sound absolutely amazing! I love roasted red peppers and who wouldn’t love all of that cheese!
This dip looks amazing! I love pretty much all of your recipes and have been threatened by my husband that is he going to block your site if I don’t quit making everything! :) I don’t see it as a bad thing – I mean he gets to eat it too! Well, unless he does actually block it…
I hate to say that I did the same thing and bought my hubby an rc helicopter a few years ago for Christmas thinking it would be some fun…little did I know that I had also created a monster and the one little heli has multiplied and there are now somewhere around 7-10 – maybe more? (I try not to know!) Good luck! I hope you come out of this unscathed! :)
Thanks for the wonderful blog and great recipes! I love it!!!
Thank you so much for reading Kelly!!
Perfectly simple – I’m obsessed with anything related to roasted red peppers (and cheese, of course).
Cheese, pepper and bacon – yeah that’s kind of awesome :)
It’s only 8:41 am but I could totally curl up with this dip and demolish a bag of crackers..
Stop.the.madness.
This looks uh-maz-ing. I can’t even wait.
I gasped! Asiago! Then Parmesan! I could hardly bear the excitement when I continued scrolling and saw FONTINA! Mygod you are the cheese queen. And here all this time, I thought I was the cheese queen! This dip is a beautiful thing.
I just started following your blog a few days ago and my husband got the same helicopter form his mom for Christmas. He is OBSESSED. Too funny! I would have never thought to buy my 30-year-old husband a remote control toy.
Trust me… I was TOTALLY out of ideas! Ended up being his favorite gift too. Go figure!

I bought my husband and son mini RC cars so they could race against each other. They’re all over our wood floors now. Whatever you do, don’t get your husband an XBox. It will be all over!
Love your dip. The cheesiness drew me in :)
That first picture literally made me swoon.
Your husband cracks me up! And this dip looks delicious! Would be perfect for new years!
This dip looks fantastic! I would kind of like to make it and eat it all myself, it looks like something I wouldn’t be willing to share…I hope you iPad’s ok!
That is hilarious! My hubs got a dual race track for Christmas that he can’t stop playing with!(and he’s a year older than me). I don’t think that age matters…boys will be boys! LOL!
Wishing you & yours a Happy New Year!
Same to you love!!
HOLY.
CRAP.
YES.
Delicious, melty, cheesy goodness. Heck yes. Happy New Year Jessica!
This is calling my name and I’m putting this on my appetizer “to make” list..this looks and sounds so good. I just want to eat it now!!

you have the most amazing recipes and the best photos. i want to eat everything you make, even bacon, and i don’t even eat bacon. you’re so talented. keep doing what you’re doing and be the fabulous you!
Is it okay that I want this for lunch? By itself?
My husband got the remote control helicopter two Christmas’s ago. He thought it was funny to hover it near my head. So glad that thing finally died. :-)
This dip looks fantastic! I wish I was having a NYE party just so I could make it.
