Ingredients (Makes 12 Servings)
- 8 ounces (226g) Fat-Free Cream Cheese (I used Great Value)
- 8 ounces (240g) Skim Sour Cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups (225g) finely shredded Fat-Free Cheddar Cheese
- ¼ cup (28g) bacon bits
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Soften the Cream Cheese
To get started, I place the cream cheese on a microwave-safe plate and microwave it for about 10 seconds on each side to soften it. Once softened, I transfer the cream cheese to a food processor and mix it until it becomes fluffy.
2. Combine Ingredients
Next, I add the skim sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to the food processor. I mix everything until well combined.
3. Add Cheese and Bacon
Using a spatula or spoon, I fold in the shredded fat-free cheddar cheese and bacon bits until they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Serve and Enjoy
You can serve the dip immediately, but I like to let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This creamy bacon cheddar dip pairs perfectly with your favorite dippers, whether it’s veggies, chips, or crackers.
This recipe is a hit at every gathering, and it’s so easy to make. The combination of creamy cheese, smoky bacon, and spices makes it an irresistible treat. Plus, it’s low in fat, so you can enjoy it without any guilt.
