Nelson Chip Dip

This chip/veggie dip is a standard at all Nelson family parties. Credit is given to my grandpa for coming up with this.

*1 pkg cream cheese (use the 1/3 less fat if you'd like), very soft

*2-3 green onions, finely sliced

*6-ish strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
*1/4 green pepper, chopped

*1/2 tsp. garlic powder (more or less to taste)

*1/4 c. (appx) milk

Beat the cream cheese until fluffy and whipped. Add milk and mix to desired consistency. Beat in garlic powder to incorporate. Stir in green onions, green peppers, and bacon. This gets better as it sits, so make it a day ahead and refrigerate overnight. Stir in milk to thin if necessary before serving.

This household likes it with crinkly potato chips, carrots, radishes and celery. Enjoy.
