Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

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.
