Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Bourbon Bacon Dip
  1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. Mix the Dip Base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, maple syrup, bourbon, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Blend until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and most of the cooked bacon, saving some for topping. Mix until just combined.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the dip mixture into an oven-safe dish, level it out, and sprinkle reserved bacon on top.
  5. Bake the Dip: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the dip for 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly with golden edges.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, let sit for a minute, then sprinkle remaining green onions on top before serving.
