Festive Holiday Dip

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 bunch green onions, chopped
12 Ritz crackers, crushed, plus more for serving
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup pepper jelly
1 tablespoon water

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar cheese and green onions. I like to add most of the bacon to the dip also, and leave a little for garnish on top.  Transfer the mixture into the prepared pie pan and top with the crushed Ritz crackers. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

3. In a small saucepan, combine the pepper jelly and water. Cook over low heat until melted.

4. Remove dip from oven and top with bacon. Drizzle pepper jelly over the top and serve with Ritz crackers for dipping.
