Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 1 cup Cooked Chicken Bacon Adds a savory, crispy texture; substitute with regular bacon for a more traditional flavor.
  • 1 cup Smoked Gouda Cheese Provides depth of flavor and creaminess; opt for high-quality, grass-fed options for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese Enhances the flavor profile with its tanginess; can be replaced with another cheese like Monterey Jack.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Contributes creaminess and richness; ensure it’s softened for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Adds moisture and fat; Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for a lighter option.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Provides tang and creaminess; can be swapped with additional cream cheese or Greek yogurt.
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions Offers a fresh crunch and mild onion flavor; spring onions can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Provides seasoning and depth; fresh minced garlic could also be used for a stronger flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Enhances the smoky flavor profile; regular paprika can substitute if smoked is unavailable.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds warmth and mild spice; adjust according to taste.
  • Optional Garnish Extra green onions or crumbled chicken bacon for topping.
For Serving
  • Crackers Perfect for scooping and pairing with the creamy dip.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in the shredded smoked Gouda and sharp cheddar cheese, along with garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and finely chopped green onions.
  4. Gently fold in most of the crumbled cooked chicken bacon, reserving a small amount for later.
  5. Transfer the dip mixture into an oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved crumbled chicken bacon over the top. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Let the dip cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or crumbled bacon.
