Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup light mayonnaise
- 8 oz pkg light cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- dash cayenne pepper
- 8 Ritz crackers crushed
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese, green onions and cayenne pepper until well blended. Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and spread even in the dish. A pie plate works perfectly.
- Top mixture with cracker crumbs and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
- Remove the pan from the oven and top with the bacon. Serve immediately with corn chips, bagel chips or crackers. I loved it with Ritz.
