Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve 1-2 tablespoons for garnish), chopped green onions (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish), Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a 1-quart oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish the top with reserved crumbled bacon and green onions.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or your favorite dippable snacks.
