Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Fold in the crumbled bacon (reserve a small amount for topping) and half of the sliced green onions.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar). Spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Sprinkle the reserved bacon and remaining green onions on top for garnish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or sliced fresh vegetables for dipping.
