Ingredients

• 8 slices Bacon
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet, place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and crumble once cooled.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve a small handful for topping), green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Optional: Sprinkle the reserved bacon and additional cheddar cheese on top for extra texture and flavor.

Step 7

Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
