Tips
- * Make sure to soften your cream cheese at room temperature for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure easy mixing and a smooth texture. * Don't overmix the dip, as it can become too dense and lose its creamy consistency. * For an extra burst of flavor, let the dip sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. * Consider garnishing the top with additional crumbled bacon and chopped green onions for a visually appealing presentation. * Experiment with different types of crackers or dippers to find your favorite pairing with this delicious dip.
