Every time I serve this dip, people ask me for the recipe. When I ask them to guess the ingredients, most guess bacon, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cream cheese. When I give them the recipe, they are surprised at how few ingredients there are and that they didn’t guess any of them.
The funny thing is, this dip tastes like it is made with all of the above ingredients. The smoked Gouda gives the illusion of Worcestershire sauce and smoky bacon. The pecans soften and take on the texture of bacon or chipped beef. And, the smoked Gouda, being room temperature, mixes well into the sour cream, thickening it, giving the impression it is cream cheese.
To make the dip, shred 1 cup smoked Gouda; let it come to room temperature. Stir in ¼ cup sour cream and ¼ cup finely chopped pecans; mix until creamy. Cover, chill, and serve with crackers and/or veggie slices.
