Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 8 Ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Pineapple Juice (reserved from crushed pineapple)

Toppings

  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Can Crushed Pineapple, drained (reserve 1/4 cup juice)
  • 1 Cup Chopped Ham
  • 1 2.8 Ounce Package Bacon Pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Green Onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and reserved pineapple juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Spread Base in Pie Pan: Transfer and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a pie pan to form the base layer of the dip.
  3. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer, followed by the drained crushed pineapple, chopped ham, bacon pieces, and chopped green onions to create a colorful and flavorful topping.
  4. Chill the Dip: Cover the pie pan with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly before serving.

Notes

  • This dip is best served chilled but can be left at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mellow.
  • Substitute ham with cooked chicken or turkey for a different protein option.
  • Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • Can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated for convenience.
  • Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
