4. Add the Bacon:
- Fold in the crumbled bacon, saving a small amount for garnish if desired.
5. Chill the Dip:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve:
- Before serving, garnish the dip with chopped green onions (if using) and the reserved bacon crumbles.
- Serve with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables like carrots and celery.
Tips:
- Make Ahead: This dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. The flavors will deepen overnight!
- Customize: You can swap out the cheddar cheese for other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Colby Jack for different flavors.
- Add-ins: For extra texture and flavor, try adding chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of paprika on top.
