Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and prepared horseradish. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to mix until smooth and well combined.
Grate the cheddar cheese and finely chop the green onions. Reserve a small portion of each for garnish later.
Stir the grated cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more horseradish for a spicier kick or additional salt to taste.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved cheddar cheese, green onions, and a few crumbles of bacon for presentation.
Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours if preparing in advance.
