More About This Recipe

When I throw a party it's all about the food. My favorite part of party planning is of course the menu planning. I'll serve anything from a simple cheese and fruit platter to a warm or cold dip with an assortment of chips and toasted bread and my personal favorite, meatballs with those cute frilly toothpicks. However, sometimes impromptu gatherings happen. And it's always good to have an ace in your back pocket (like a Hot Cheesy Party Ring), just in case you find yourself in a situation of guests dropping by and zero time to plan. A few things you should always have on hand it is cheese, bacon, green onions and a roll of Pillsbury’s™ French Loaf in the fridge. Those things together can make magic happen... all in about 30 minutes. If your Bundt pan is more smooth on top, go ahead and get creative cutting X's around the ring! Serve this fun, hot cheesy party ring at your next shindig with a bowl of your favorite dip in the center and your guests can break bread and dip! Enjoy!
