Directions

1. Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, and allow to cool. Turn the heat off from underneath the pan.
2. In a large bowl, add the mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix until fully blended.
3. Add the garlic powder, green onion, and salt and pepper. Mix again until fully blended.
4. Chop the cooled bacon into very small pieces, then add to the dip. Add a spoon of the bacon fat from the pan, and stir a final time to mix everything together.
5. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least two hours, but up to overnight.
6. Serve with crackers, veggies, pita chips, or whatever you like!
