Indulge in the ultimate crowd-pleaser with this Hot Cheese and Bacon Dip—an irresistible blend of creamy, cheesy, and smoky flavors that's perfect for parties, game days, or a cozy night in. This baked appetizer combines velvety cream cheese, tangy sour cream, and rich mayonnaise with a double dose of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses for a luscious, gooey base. Crispy crumbled bacon and fresh green onions elevate every bite, while a hint of garlic powder and optional paprika add depth and warmth. Ready in just 30 minutes, this warm and bubbly dip pairs beautifully with crackers, baguette slices, or veggie sticks for effortless entertaining.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the mayonnaise and sour cream to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve a small amount for garnish), green onions (reserve some for garnish), and garlic powder.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly with golden edges.
Carefully remove from the oven and sprinkle the reserved bacon and green onions on top. Add a dash of paprika for garnish if desired.
Let the dip cool slightly, then serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or vegetable sticks.
