Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, toasted almonds, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend. Chilling for longer, up to 24 hours, improves the taste.
- Serve cold with crackers, chips, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- Toast the sliced almonds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
- You can prepare this dip a day ahead of time. Cover and keep refrigerated.
- For a slightly different texture, you can form the chilled mixture into a ball and roll it in extra toasted almonds and green onions.
