Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.
Crumble or chop the cooked bacon into small pieces, reserving about 2 tablespoons for garnish.
Add the chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped green onions (reserving some for garnish), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with melted unsalted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with the reserved bacon and green onions.
Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or sliced baguette for dipping.
