Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup green onions (chopped)
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (1 cup)
- 1 ½ pounds bacon (crispy)
- 10 ritz crackers (crushed)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until it is crisp, place it on a paper towel lined plate and pat off any grease. Crumble or cut into small pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 350º.
- With a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Add green onions, cheese and bacon. Mix until well combined and place in a baking dish.
- Crush about 10 crackers and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes until it is bubbly.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can bake the bacon on a foil lined baking sheet at 400º for 25 minutes.
- Try using thin sliced bacon which will get crispier than thick cut.
- You can prepare ahead of time, just wait to add the crackers until right before baking.
