Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
- optional crackers or bread (for serving)
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to combine until smooth and creamy.
Add the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, bread, or sliced vegetables, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow the spread to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
