1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bacon bits
1/4 cup diced green onions
Optional: 2 tablespoons diced jalapeños or 2 tablespoons chopped black olives

Notes
Full-fat sour cream gives the dip the best texture; avoid fat-free versions.
Let the dip chill for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
Use freshly cooked bacon crumbles for added crunch and flavor instead of packaged bits.
