Instructions

Combine sour cream and cream cheese: In a medium bowl, add 16 ounces sour cream and 4 ounces softened cream cheese. Stir and mix thoroughly until smooth and the mixture is fully combined.
Add remaining ingredients: To the bowl, add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup chopped cooked bacon, 3 sliced green onions, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix everything well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dip to firm up slightly.
Serve: Once chilled, serve the loaded baked potato dip cold with your favorite potato chips for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use freshly cooked and chopped bacon for optimal flavor and texture.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and to achieve a smooth dip.
You can add chopped chives instead of green onions for a milder onion flavor.
Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on the saltiness of your bacon and cheese.
This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
