Ingredients:
- 1 package of bacon
- 6 green onions
- 2 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
Instructions:
- Begin by gathering your ingredients. For the bacon, you can either cook it yourself until crispy or use convenient pre-packaged bacon bits. The choice is yours!
- Finely chop the green onions, ensuring you include both the white and green parts for added flavor and color.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped green onions with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- If you opted for whole bacon, crumble or chop it into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
- If using packaged bacon bits, simply pour them into the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Now, it’s time to add the mayonnaise. Start with about 1 cup, ensuring it’s true mayo and not salad dressing for the best flavor.
- Gently stir the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the mayonnaise. You may need to add more mayo until everything is just held together, creating a creamy, paste-like consistency.
- Once fully combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
- When it’s time to serve, transfer the Best Stuff on Earth to a serving dish and accompany it with your favorite crackers. Whether you prefer the buttery richness of Ritz or the nutty wholesomeness of Wheatables, the choice is yours!
- Watch as your guests eagerly devour this addictive appetizer, and be prepared to share the recipe—it’s guaranteed to be a hit at any gathering!
Cook’s Tips:
- For added convenience, prep the Best Stuff on Earth a few hours ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator until your guests arrive. This allows you to focus on other party preparations without sacrificing flavor.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique twist. Sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or even crumbled blue cheese can add a delightful depth of flavor to this already irresistible dish.
- If you’re catering to vegetarian guests, simply omit the bacon or replace it with vegetarian bacon bits. The cheesy, creamy goodness will still shine through!
