Your New Favorite Dip–Captain Rodney’s Cheese Bake
Several years ago I worked at a local shop…BBQ and more. THAT’S where I discovered the amazing Captain Rodney’s Cheese Bake. This is OUR favorite dip–and appears to be everyone else’s favorite if their feet have been under my table when this one is served!
Captain Rodney?
Well, I had the pleasure of meeting Captain Rodney when I went to market for that shop. He is a real, larger than life person!
But, that Captain Rodney’s Cheese Bake recipe?
None other dip can compare to this one.
Seriously.
It matters not how much I make of it…one, two, three or four recipes…for an event…it ALL gets eaten or taken home by guests.
Every. Single. Time.
Recipe requested, as well.
That happened at my husband’s birthday party last week.
Don’t forget to save, print and Pin this one on Pinterest!
You will need to find it again for your next gathering!

Notes
JUST A NOTE: I realize the cost of that glaze has risen like so many products…but, a bottle will help you create 6 recipes of this favorite cheese bake. That averages a little over $3 per recipe for the glaze. I’ll take that!

This dip is no joke. Absolutely delicious. I made it for the first time at Thanksgiving. Everyone raved about it. Now I’m making more for Christmas and giving some to my grandkid to drive back to college. You’ll be the hit of the party with this dip.
Leslie J Watkins
I know, right?!! So glad it was a hit. The dish is ALWAYS emptied when this one is made.

After researching I see other recipes call for 1/4 cup to go into the mixture, then drizzle 1/4 cup over at the end. Is there a particular reason you only put the Rodney suace on top only? Thx!
Leslie J Watkins
The original recipe shared by Captain Rodney’s is the one that I have used for years. Feel free to add it to the mixture and on top, if you like. You simply can’t go wrong with that glaze!
Jules
Actually the recipe on the Captain Rodney’s bottle puts a 1/4 cup in the mix and drizzles a 1/4 cup on top at the end after cooking, which is why I asked you. I made your version and it was great. I was just wondering about your deviation from the original recipe on the bottle?
Original Recipe
Mix mayo, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, onions and 1/4 cup of CR glaze and place in pan. Top with crackers and bake 350 for 15 minutes. Top with more bacon and drizzle 1/4 cup CR glaze
Your recipe does not add glaze or bacon in mix, and puts glaze and bacon on top before baking in the oven.
I’m going to try the bottle recipe this time and see if it is tht different.
Thanks!
Leslie J Watkins
Ahh…I hadn’t looked at the bottle. My recipe was a printed one given to me by Captain Rodney one year at Market. You can see the printed version a bit in one of the photos. It only adds the glaze to the top. I think I actually added the glaze into the mixture one time not paying attention and it was delicious, too. Enjoy either way!
