Make this dip up to four days ahead. The blue cheese flavor intensifies with time. Serve with crackers or celery sticks.

- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 10 slices bacon, plus 1 slice for garnish, cooked until crisp
- 5 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
Instructions
- 1. Combine all ingredients (except 1 bacon slice and celery sticks) in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until party time. Crumble remaining bacon slice and sprinkle over cheese mixture. Serve with celery sticks, sliced on the diagonal and with tough strings removed.
