Ingredients
1/2
cup

8
oz
block of cream cheese
softened
1
cup
grated sharp cheddar cheese
I used Cabot Seriously Sharp
1/2
cup
grated Monterey jack cheese
I used Cabot Pepper Jack
2
green onions
finely chopped
Dash
cayenne pepper
10
Ritz crackers
crushed
8
slices
bacon
cooked and crumbled
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, all the cheeses, green onions and cayenne pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish or cast-iron skillet and top with cracker crumbs.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until hot and bubbling on top.
Remove the pan and top with the cooked bacon.
Serve immediately with corn chips, pita chips or crackers.
I turned the broiler on mine for just a minute at the end of the cooking cycle to give it a little extra of that golden brown bubbly goodness.
