Why You Will Love This

• It's creamy. This recipe calls for heavy whipping cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese. These all help to create the creamy, delicious texture for this tasty dip which makes it a favorite snack for many!
• The bacon. Cooked and crumbled bacon is mixed in and it adds the best flavor and really takes this perfect dip to the next level.
• The sharp cheddar cheese. The sharp tang of the salty cheddar cheese pairs well with the cream cheese, bacon and green onions.
• It's easy. The great thing about this cheesy pretzel dip is that it is made in one bowl and takes about 5 minutes. Super quick and simple!

Ingredients Needed

• Heavy whipping cream: Half and half or milk would work, but the heavy whipping cream adds a bit of a richer flavor.
• Mayonnaise: Full fat or light works well with this recipe.
• Worcestershire sauce: My favorite is this one, but any brand will work.
• Horseradish: There isn't much horseradish in this, but it adds a great hint of flavor. If horseradish isn't your favorite, you could leave it out.
• Garlic: I like to use minced garlic in a jar for convenience, but 1 clove from a head of garlic would be equivalent to the ½ teaspoon of minced that the recipe calls for. You could also use about ¼ teaspoon garlic powder in place of the fresh garlic.
• Extra sharp cheddar cheese: Sharp or mild cheddar would also work, but the extra sharp add a more pronounced flavor. You could also do a mix of different cheeses based on what you have on hand.
• Cream cheese: Use full fat or ⅓-less fat for this and be sure it is at room temperature before trying to mix it in with the other ingredients. To do this, take it out of the refrigerator about an hour before preparing the dip.
• Green onions
• Hot sauce
• Bacon

Step by Step Instructions

This might be the easiest thing you've ever made. You only need one bowl.

STEP 1: Put the softened cream cheese, whipping cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, and garlic in a large bowl. Stir this together well.

STEP 2: Add the bacon, cheese and green onions. Stir these in to combine. Place in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

Expert Tips

• This great dip is best after it has had time to allow all the flavors to meld together. I like to make it the night before I plan to serve it, but giving it several hours in the fridge works too.
• Save a few bacon crumbles and sliced green onions to sprinkle on top.
• Double the recipe to ensure you have plenty. It goes fast!
