So we are celebrating easy Cinco de Mayo recipes today on Sunday Supper! What fun, huh. I came to the party a little late so I wasn’t sure what to make. And then I remembered a dish I order often at our local Mexican restaurant, alambre. It’s a mixture of grilled bacon, onions, peppers and steak and then topped with melted cheese. It is oh so delicious, so I wanted to make that dish, but make it more of a dip. Today I bring you my alambre skillet cheese dip. It is sinful but it really tasty!

I love anything you can make in a cast iron skillet. Usually I make regular dinners like my Asian chicken dinner, but I’ve never made an appetizer nor a dessert. I’m working up my nerve to try a skillet dessert. I even bought these cute little 3.5″ cast iron skillets at Target for the distinct purpose of making a dessert. One day….

This is not a difficult dish and you only use the skillet to make it. You start by browning the bacon and then taking it out. Using some of the bacon grease you saute the onions, peppers and steak until the steak is browned. Then you add in some cream cheese and Mexican cheese along with the cooked bacon and mix until the cheese is melted. Lastly you pop it in the oven for 10-15 minutes and you are done.

You can top this with some chopped tomatoes, avocados or cilantro if you wish. Even a squeeze of lime on top would be nice. I was too impatient and dug right in. I hope you enjoy this appetizer for Cinco de Mayo. Thank you Shelby from Grumpy’s Honeybunch for hosting this week and please scroll down to see some more great recipes!

    • Yes, it could be a meal in of itself. Actually next time I’ll make it for dinner and take out the cream cheese. It would be good served as a fajita.
