Directions To Make The Big Game Day Baked Cheesy Dip Recipe

Tip #1: Lay out the cream cheese so it can soften to room temperature. Also, Philadelphia Cream Cheese makes a whipped version that is PERFECT for this recipe.

Step #2

Wash and dry the green onions and thinly slice on an angle.

Step #3

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Step #4

In a medium sized bowl, add in the cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, gruyere cheese, bacon (reserve some for topping the dip), and combine thoroughly with a spoon.

Step #5

Then pour into a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 35 minutes.

Step #6

Remove from oven, top with additional bacon and the green onions and serve warm!

Alternative Baking Suggestion: You could also bake this in a bread bowl. It would be extremely delicious that way as well.
