Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Bacon
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet, place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and crumble once cooled.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve a small handful for topping), green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Optional: Sprinkle the reserved bacon and additional cheddar cheese on top for extra texture and flavor.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbling around the edges.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
