Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the slivered almonds.
- Stir constantly to toast until lightly golden brown and you can smell them.
- Remove from the heat and place the toasted almonds on a plate or paper towel to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayo until smooth.
- Add in the cheese, bacon, green onion, garlic powder, and almonds.
- Mix to combine, move to a serving dish and garnish.
Notes
- Start with room temperature cream cheese for a smooth dip.
- You can substitute packaged bacon bits but fresh bacon tastes better.
- Grate your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese doesn't mix well.
- Serve with fresh veggies, chips, or your favorite crackers.
- Want to add a little kick? Try a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- You can garnish with extra cheese, almonds, onions, or bacon.
- Use real mayo and full-fat cream cheese for the best taste.
