½cupcooked baconchopped (about 8 slices cooked and chopped)
1teaspoongarlic powder
Instructions
In a small dry skillet, toast the almonds over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-low speed to combine the cream cheese and the mayonnaise until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and use a spoon to mix until fully incorporated.
Spoon the dip into a bowl. Garnish with additional cheese, almonds, green onions, or bacon as desired.
Notes
Finely shredded cheese works best—too large of cheese shreds don't blend into the dip well and can overpower the other ingredients.
Make sure to use softened cream cheese, or it won't blend well.
Leftover dip may be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
