How to Make Bacon Cheddar Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook 1/2 pound bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 16 ounces of sour cream, 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup of reserved bacon grease. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
  4. Fold in the crumbled bacon.
  5. Pour dip into an oven-safe dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. (Optional: Broil for the last 1-2 minutes for a slightly browned top).
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dippers!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
