Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1.2 cup half&half, milk or heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sharpe cheddar
1/2 cup Monterey Jack
1/2 tsp Tajin Spice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
paprika, just a dusting on top
Directions:
- Chop bacon and cook in large cast iron skillet.
- Drain excess oils and cooked bacon. Return drained bacon to the pan
- Add butter, garlic, onions and sauté till onions are clear
