TURNIP GREEN DIP

Steps:

Add the Alfredo sauce, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is bubbly. Stir in the crumbled bacon.
• Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, and bake 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Turn on the oven's broiler, and return the baking dish to the oven for 5 minutes.
• Serve with tortilla chips or fried pork skins.
