16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper

1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
3/4 cup green onion, chopped
6 slices of bacon, fully cooked and crispy

Topping:

6 tablespoons of butter, melted
2 1/2 cups Ritz crackers, lightly crushed, leaving some parts of cracker
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper and jalapeños. Stir well for a few minutes making sure all is incorporated.

3. Add cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, green onion, and bacon to the cream cheese mixture and stir until combined.

4. Add mixture to a 7 inch x 11 inch oven proof pan. You can use a different type pan, just make sure the dip is at least 1 inch thick.

Leftover ideas: Goes great on a baked potato or breakfast hash browns. Put on a hamburger or spread for a sandwich. Add it to the middle of your grilled cheese sandwich.
