Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups (170 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chips or crackers for serving (tortilla chips, pita chips, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy, then crumble into bite-sized pieces. Optionally save some bacon grease for a drizzle in the dip.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sour cream until smooth using a hand mixer or spoon.
  4. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Fold in crumbled bacon (reserve some for topping), sliced green onions, and optional diced jalapeño.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly in an oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle reserved bacon and extra shredded cheddar on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.

Notes

Softening cream cheese before mixing ensures a smooth, lump-free dip. Baking bacon on a wire rack helps it crisp evenly. Don’t overbake to avoid drying out the dip. Adding Worcestershire sauce enhances umami flavor. The dip can be made a day ahead and baked before serving. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream to refresh texture.
