Crack Dip Ingredients
- Bacon Bits – I like to use real bacon instead of store-bought bacon bits. I think it just adds more flavor!
- Green onion – I loveeee green onion so sometimes I add extra!
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese – the Star of the show and pulls everything together!
- Mayonnaise – I know it’s a bit odd but trust me! It tastes so good! Once its refrigerated it tastes amazing.
Seasonings
*You don’t need any seasoning but I like to add these.
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
Alternatives/Substitutions
- Greek Yogurt instead of mayo; Sometimes Ill also do half mayo and half sour cream instead (it may change the flavor a little bit)
How to serve Crack dip
I always refrigerate it for at least a couple of hours before serving because I like it cold and it binds it all together. Serve with crackers or my favorite way to serve it is with chips! Perfect if you’re hosting game day or holiday parties! It’s super easy to make ahead of time as well.
