# How to Make It:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F and let it heat up.
02 -
Grab a big bowl and throw in the soft cream cheese, cooked beef, and all the other base ingredients. Stir it all up till it's nice and smooth. Give it a taste and add more seasoning if you want.
03 -
Dump the mixture into a greased 10-inch skillet (cast iron works best). Sprinkle the extra cheddar on top and pop it in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
04 -
Take it out, scatter the bacon pieces on top, and stick it back in the oven. Cook until you see bubbles around the edges, about 3-4 minutes more.
05 -
Pull it out and scatter green onions all over. Serve it while it's hot.
