Ingredients
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the chopped kale to the cream cheese mixture. Make sure to mix well so that the kale is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Next, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Once everything is mixed, add the chopped green onions to the bowl and fold them in gently to retain some of their crunch and flavor.
- Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. You can use an 8x8 inch dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden.
- Once done, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the hot cheesy kale and bacon dip with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
Tips
- To ensure your dip turns out hot, cheesy, and utterly irresistible, follow these simple tips:* Make sure to chop the kale finely to distribute its nutrients and flavor evenly throughout the dip. * Don't overmix the ingredients, as this can lead to a tough and unappetizing texture. * If you want an extra crispy top, broil the dip for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. * Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Parmesan or mozzarella, to give the dip your own unique flavor twist. * For a lighter version, try substituting some of the sour cream with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
