Ingredients
- 1 block of cream cheese softened
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 8 oz. Swiss cheese grated
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 pound bacon cooked and crumbled
- Ritz crackers Crumbled (just shy of 1 sleeve), plus more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise and Swiss cheese until well distributed. You can use an electric mixer, but a rubber spatula and a little elbow grease will get the job done just fine.
- Mix in the green onion and bacon and place in baking dish. Top with the crumbled Ritz crackers.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until the center is hot and bubbly. Serve immediately with crackers on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before starting. It has to be softened so you can easily combine the ingredients later on.
- Allow the bacon dip to rest and cool a little before serving. It will have a better texture, still gooey but easier to scoop. It will also be safer for everyone as it will be scalding hot fresh off the oven.
- Do not throw away leftover bacon fat. Pour it into a jar and keep it in the fridge to use in vinaigrettes, for roasted potatoes and onions, or adding flavor to all kinds of different dishes.
