Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve a small amount for topping), diced jalapeños (if using), green onions (reserve a small amount for garnish), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top, along with the reserved crumbled bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the dip to cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with the reserved green onions before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks for dipping. Enjoy your game day treat!
