Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix until fully blended and smooth.

Step 3

Fold in the diced cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe dish or skillet, depending on your warming preference. Heat on medium-low or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the cheese is melted and the spread is creamy and slightly warm.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.

Step 6

Serve warm with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables as dippers. Enjoy!
