The preparation

8 steps, about 10 minutes start to finish.

01
Chop 5 green onions.
02
Shred 8 ounces of cheddar cheese.
03
In a bowl, combine the green onions and cheddar cheese.
04
Add 1 cup mayonnaise and 1/2 cup sour cream. (Original recipe calls for 1.5 cups mayo, but substituting half sour cream cuts the richness.)
05
Add 1/2 cup bacon bits and 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
06
Mix everything together well.
07
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
08
Serve with crackers: Ritz, Townhouse, club crackers, Triscuits, or baguette slices.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Give it the full two hours in the fridge before serving. That chill lets the almonds, bacon, and onion settle in so every scoop tastes like more than mayo and cheese.”
