Description
A creamy, smoky dip made with sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon, perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 can diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preparation: Drain the canned diced green chilies and crumble cooked bacon if not already done. Shred the cheddar if needed and chop green onions for garnish. Place a large mixing bowl on the counter.
- Mixing: Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the bowl. Stir until smooth. Fold in shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, diced green chilies, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Cooling: Transfer the dip into a serving dish. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling lets the flavors marry and the mixture firm up slightly for easier scooping.
- Finishing: Before serving, give the dip a quick stir and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions for color and fresh bite. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
