Decadent Dip

This is SUCH a wonderful dip! Two years ago I happened upon a woman selling packets of powdered dip mixes for $4.50 each at a festival. One of them was a Cajun spiced dip that was oooohmygosh good! I came home with a package and was disappointed that it only made one batch. We had just become acquainted with Sriracha sauce and I thought that might make a good substitute mixed with mayonnaise and sour cream. It did. But I wanted a more substantial dip with more flavor. Here is what I've arrived at...

Decadent Dip(makes a ton)

2 8oz pkgs cream cheese, very soft

1 8oz block of cheddar cheese(mild or med, you choose), grated

1 24oz container sour cream(I use full fat everything)

1 3.5oz pkg nitrate free real bacon bits(or regular real bits)

3-4 green onions, sliced very thin

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and dill to taste

Combine cheeses, sour cream and sriracha sauce, its good exercise for your arms! Add bacon bits and seasonings and mix some more. Refrigerate for 4 or more hours to blend flavors and let it thicken back up. Serve with corn chips, fritos, or use as a filling for lavash or tortilla roll-ups. This is a very forgiving and adaptable dip, leave things out, add some chopped nuts or olives, etc., etc. Enjoy!!!
