- Cook the bacon: In a pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, crumble it into small pieces and add it to the dip mixture, stirring to combine.
- Assemble the dip: Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, then top with more shredded cheddar cheese (if desired) for extra cheesiness!
- Bake: Place the dip in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on top. The cheese should be melted and bubbly
- Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks for dipping.
