Ingredients

    For the Dip

    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
    • 2 teaspoons dried dill
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons fresh chives, chopped
    • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
    • 6 to 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

    For Garnish

    • Reserved shredded cheddar cheese
    • Reserved crispy bacon pieces
    • Fresh chives, chopped

    For Serving

    • Crackers
    • Fresh vegetables
    • Tortilla chips or potato chips

    Directions

    1. Soften the cream cheese. Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. This will make it easier to blend into a smooth, creamy consistency.
    2. Cook the bacon. Cook the bacon in the oven according to the package instructions until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
    3. Prepare the cheese. Freshly shred the sharp cheddar cheese and set aside. Reserve a small portion for garnishing.
    4. Make the creamy base. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, dried dill, onion powder, and garlic powder. Using a hand mixer, blend until completely smooth and creamy.
    5. Add the mix ins. Gently fold in most of the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and 2 teaspoons fresh chives. Reserve some cheese and bacon for the topping.
    6. Chill the dip. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop and the dip to firm up slightly.
    7. Garnish. Before serving, sprinkle the reserved shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon pieces, and additional chopped chives over the top.
    8. Serve. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy chilled with crackers, fresh vegetables, tortilla chips, or potato chips.
