Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced jalapeños (seeded for less heat)
- 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- 3 stalks green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- tortilla chips or vegetable sticks, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon (reserve a little for topping), and green onions (reserve a small amount for garnish).
Transfer the dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Add the reserved crumbled bacon as a topping for additional flavor and a crispy texture.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.
Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with the reserved green onions for a fresh pop of color and serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
