INGREDIENT NOTES:
TURKEY BACON:
- Turkey bacon delivers a smoky taste while using less fat compared to conventional bacon. It maintains the flavor of the bites while crisping them wonderfully. Select lean slices for optimal results.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Reduced-fat cheddar cheese melts easily and has a deep cheesy flavor without adding too many calories. It maintains the dip’s balance and creaminess.
GREEK YOGURT:
- Greek yogurt without fat reduces fat while adding creaminess. It enhances the flavor and provides a little zest and protein.
CREAM CHEESE:
- In addition to helping with binding, light cream cheese gives the recipe a velvety texture. It mixes well with cheese and yogurt.
GREEN ONIONS
- It adds freshness and a slightly sharp taste. They pierce the richness of bacon and cheese. Use both the white and green sections for flavor and color.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder improves the flavor without adding a strong garlic taste. It’s the ideal accompaniment to the bacon and cheese.
ONION POWDER:
- The addition of onion powder enhances the dip’s savory flavor. It complements the flavors of bacon and garlic nicely.
SALT:
- Salt adds harmony to the mixture and sharpens all the ingredients. Use sparingly since cheese and bacon already contain sodium. Adjust to taste before baking.
BLACK PEPPER:
- Black pepper adds earthiness and a little spice. It connects the smoky and creamy flavors. We use fresh pepper for sharp taste.
