All you need to make this big bowl of perfection, is:
5 chopped green onions
8-10 ounces of grated cheddar cheese (extra sharp is best!)
1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise
1/2 cup real bacon bits (cooked, crumbled bacon is always best, but you can buy real bacon bits in a jar if you’re short on time)
1/2 cup of sliced almonds
Mix everything and refrigerate. Serve with crackers. Ritz crackers are my favorite in this dip!
