Black and Blue BBQ Bean Dip
This bean dip is full of unique flavors that work so well together. The blue cheese, mixed with the cream cheese, has a very subtle sharp flavor, that most people can’t detect as blue cheese. The sweet heat of the barbecue sauce contrasts with the creamy sharp cheese spread. Then there’s just a touch of salty smoky bacon on top. The Dill Triscuit crackers is the right finish for one more layer of flavor. This is a great way to use up leftover black rice from last nights supper!
