Servings:

Calories: 371kcal

¾-1 cup bacon crisp and crumbled (Usually 1 pound of chopped bacon equals 1 cup)
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
¾ cup slivered almonds more or less to taste
5 stalks green onions sliced thin
1 tablespoon hot sauce
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic minced
½ teaspoon pepper

Get out and measure your ingredients.
Using a large skillet, over medium to medium high heat, cook bacon until crisp, between 7 and 10 minutes. Ideally, using tongs, transfer crisp bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
In the meantime, using a mixing bowl, combine cheddar, mayo, almonds, green onions, hot sauce, garlic, onion powder and pepper.
Add cooled cooked bacon. Reserve a little to decorate top for serving.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving or up to 2 days, including the day you made it.
Serve with crackers, tortilla or corn chips, baguette, naan or pita bread. It all tastes great. Enjoy every bite!

Get that bacon crispy! That crisp texture really pops in this dip.
Be sure the excess grease has thoroughly drained off of your bacon before adding it to the dip.
Always shred your own cheese whenever possible. It's so much better than bagged.
The longer you chill this dip, the better it tastes, so consider the 2 hours a bare minimum.
