Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- crackers or vegetables for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the sliced almonds for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Set aside to cool.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain excess grease on a paper towel, then crumble the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the crumbled bacon (reserving a small amount for topping), chopped green onions (reserving some for garnish), and toasted almonds (reserving a small portion for garnish) to the mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into a shallow oven-safe dish and spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the reserved bacon, almonds, and green onions on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
