Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese softened
- 1 cup Real Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 5 Green Onions chopped
- 2 Cloves Garlic minced
- ½ Cup Bacon chopped
- ½ cup Almonds slivered (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet fry the chopped bacon until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and stir well.
- Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or your favorite vegetables.
- Can be made in advance and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
Notes
- This dip can easily be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days when sealed properly. Make sure to give it a good stir before serving. You may want to leave the chopped green onions and slivered almonds, if you used them, out until just prior to serving to preserve their crunchy texture.
- Since this dip contains dairy-based ingredients, make sure that it is stored back in the refrigerator when no longer in use. This dip shouldn’t be left out for extended periods of time.
- I always grate my cheese for recipes for best taste. Packaged shredded cheese usually contains a coating to preserve it which detracts from the taste and its ability to combine with other recipe ingredients.
- Feel free to use any brand of mayonnaise for this dip. Full fat will add more flavor but you can also use a low-fat brand.
