Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix until fully blended and smooth.
Fold in the diced cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe dish or skillet, depending on your warming preference. Heat on medium-low or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the cheese is melted and the spread is creamy and slightly warm.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables as dippers. Enjoy!
