Notes

For the most flavorful experience, buy the highest-quality ingredients you can find. Full-fat cream cheese contributes to a much richer dip! If you are seeking additional levels of flavor, use thick-cut bacon and cook it yourself. Make sure the flavors are distributed evenly around the dip by thoroughly combining the ingredients. You can change up the ingredients to match your preferences. For a spicy version of this recipe, add diced jalapeños to the mix, or use a pepper jack cheese in place of the cheddar. This is your recipe, have fun with it! Be mindful of refrigeration time to prevent a less vibrant dip. To bring out flavors, let the flavors bind by leaving the dip in the refrigerator overnight.
