Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6–8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4–5 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Place 6-8 thick-cut bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces. (Tip: Save a bit of the bacon grease for cooking green onions if you want extra flavor.)
  2. Mix creamy base: In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, and ½ cup mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add cheese and seasonings: Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  4. Fold in bacon and green onions: Add the crumbled bacon and 4-5 finely chopped green onions. Fold with a spatula to distribute evenly without crushing the bacon.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to marry and the dip to thicken.
  6. Serve: Give the dip a quick stir, then transfer to your serving dish. Garnish with extra chopped green onions or a few bacon crumbles on top.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is softened for a smooth, lump-free dip. Cook bacon slowly over medium heat for even crispiness. Chill dip for at least 1 hour for best flavor and texture. Can be made up to 24 hours ahead. For vegetarian version, omit bacon and add smoked paprika or liquid smoke.
