First it is Back to School with no time to cook, so many folks resort to fast food when they feel like they don’t have time to make the best quick and easy dinner recipes.

Then we roll into Halloween candy and, well, leftover candy recipes because we just can’t throw it away, so why not add it to more sugar and calories!

Thanksgiving, there is, well, umm, everything. I mean, let’s just start with the Corn Pudding and end with the pumpkin pie. Next, December rolls around, and fuhgeddaboutit (I’m from Jersey, I can use that phrase). Snowballs and almond crescent cookies and pierogies, oh my!

Finally January arrives and we are all just getting our healthy eating habits back on track when… WHAM!

It’s the Super Bowl! A day second to only Thanksgiving for calorie consumption. And not that I am opposed to a day of gluttony here or there, but, well, when I created this recipe I was just jealous. Darn gestational diabetes meant that a day of continual snacking is not in the cards for me. I know, cue the sad violins.

So what a perfect opportunity for me to whip up a high protein, low carb dip for some nice, healthy veggies that has all the flavors of traditional Super Bowl foods, but wouldn’t send my glucose meter into high alert.

And with this delicious low carb buffalo dip, who needs the mess and fuss of wings?!

I could totally eat this buffalo bacon blue cheese dip with a spoon, but I will get myself a nice stack of carrot and celery sticks instead.

And if course, I smell… BACON! But mix it into some plain Greek yogurt and BAM – you have healthier game day food!

Low Carb Buffalo Dip with Bacon and Blue Cheese

How do you make Bacon Blue Cheese Buffalo Dip?

All you have to do is stir together the following basic ingredients and you have this easy low carb buffalo dip:

  • Plain Greek yogurt – you can use low fat or nonfat to cut the calories, or whole milk Greek yogurt to make this dip keto-friendly
  • Hot sauce – I am always a big fan of Frank’s Red Hot, but use your favorite
  • Crumbled blue cheese
  • Cooked and crumbled bacon – if you avoid pork, you can even use turkey bacon

What do you serve with Bacon Blue Cheese Buffalo Dip?

Is this Low Carb Buffalo Dip gluten free?

The only ingredient that might be of concern to you if you have celiac disease or are on a gluten free diet due to an allergy or intolerance would be the blue cheese. In the past, there were often concerns that blue cheese was made with mold spores that were grown on bread. This is typically not the case anymore, and you’ll even find some blue cheeses that are labeled as gluten free. However, if you have celiac or a severe allergy or intolerance, I’d advise you to first speak with your doctor or medical professional before adding blue cheese back to your diet. And, as always, be sure to real all labels carefully.

    Thanks for bringing this to the Super Bowl Party. Blue cheese and bacon – how can you go wrong.
    Yum. I’m trying to think of something low fat/carb for the Super Bowl, but it just doesn’t quite match up to all the goodies on the Party!

    Have a good one! Linda
