Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and blue cheese crumbles. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Add the cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (reserving a small amount for garnish), scallions (reserving a tablespoon for garnish), garlic powder, smoked paprika, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with reserved bacon, scallions, and fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
