This Blue Cheese Guacamole is my most popular Guacamole recipe. I saw a similar blue cheese guacamole on TV years ago but couldn’t locate the recipe anywhere so I decided to roll up my sleeves and re-create it.
I knew it would taste great because I love Blue Cheese. Heck, I’ve even made a Blue Cheese Bacon Mac & Cheese with it. What I didn’t expect was everyone to go bananas over it. By far one of my most requested recipes.
