Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups light sour cream
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 0.5 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the dip. This high heat will ensure the cheese melts beautifully and the flavors meld together.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, light sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, evenly blended mixture.
  3. Prepare to bake: Transfer the dip mixture into a 1-quart baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform heating.
  4. Bake the dip: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cook until the cheese is bubbling and the dip is heated through for maximum flavor and texture.
  5. Serve warm: Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven and serve immediately. This dip pairs wonderfully with bread slices, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle chives on top before serving for a fresh herbal note.
  • Add extra bacon bits as garnish to enhance the savory taste.
  • Serve immediately while hot and bubbly for the best texture.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
