Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Cream Cheese - Soften the cream cheese for easier mixing. It's best to take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to make this dip. You can substitute 1/3 less fat cream cheese to lighten it up.
- Sour Cream - Use full fat or light to cut the calories.
- Bacon - You can substitute bacon pieces for cooked bacon for ease.
- Shredded Cheddar - Use a fresh shredded mild cheddar for best, creamiest results. Monterey jack or fresh grated parmesan also works well for a twist.
- Green Onion - Chives or scallions also work well.
