Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup black olives, chopped
- 0.5 cup bacon bits
- 0.25 cup toasted sunflower seeds
- 0.5 tsp seasoned salt
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 cup crushed crackers (like Ritz or Club crackers)
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make it easier to mix.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the bottom of a shallow serving dish or pie plate.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Chop the green onions finely and scatter them evenly across the cheddar cheese layer.
Layer the chopped black olives evenly over the green onions.
Add a generous sprinkle of bacon bits for a smoky flavor boost.
Top the dip with toasted sunflower seeds for a nutty crunch.
Finish by sprinkling the crushed crackers evenly over the top to replicate the 'gravel' texture.
Serve the dip with fresh vegetable sticks, crackers, or tortilla chips for dipping.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days.
