6 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1-1/2 cups of sour cream
1/2 cup of mayonnaise

2 cups of very finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 green onion, sliced
Dash of garlic powder
Couple dashes of hot sauce, optional
Chips, crackers and/or assorted fresh vegetables
Instructions

Mix everything except chips or crackers together, cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight to allow the dip to thicken and the flavors to mellow a bit. Serve this with corn or tortilla chips, crackers or an assortment of fresh vegetables.
