- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined and have a smooth consistency.
Add the finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (if using). Mix well to distribute the seasonings throughout the spread.
