- shredded cheddar cheese (or any shredded cheese flavor you love will work)

How to Make Don’t Tell the Doctor Dip
- Set aside one tablespoon of cooked and chopped bacon.
- Mix cream cheese and butter with a mixer until well blended.

- Fold in the remaining bacon and cheese and spoon into a serving bowl. Top with reserved bacon and chopped green onions before serving with your favorite chip or dip option.
Expert Dip Tips
- I didn’t add many onions into the mix, and I think it’s better this way!
- I use a hand mixer. I find it blends thick things like cream cheese and butter better.
- Soften butter by leaving it on the counter, unwrapped, for about 30 minutes before cooking. You can soften it on defrost in the microwave to speed things up, but be careful not to MELT the butter completely, or it will be mushy. It just needs to be softened enough to blend.
