Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (about 4)
  • 1/2 cup crispy crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sharp cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, slivered almonds, and pressed garlic clove. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer for best results, or hand mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Chill the dip: Cover the mixture with plastic wrap or transfer it to a covered container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  3. Serve and garnish: Before serving, optionally garnish the dip with additional chopped green onions and extra crumbled bacon for presentation. Serve chilled with crackers, celery slices, or sliced baguette to enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to facilitate easy mixing.
  • You can prepare this dip a few hours ahead for better flavor development; just keep it refrigerated.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the slivered almonds or substitute with chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic or bacon to taste based on your preference.
  • Serve with a variety of dippers like crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread slices.
