Loaded “Baked Potato” Dip

I went to a family reunion this weekend and my cousin Dodie brought this dip. It was delicious! Thanks, Dodie. It was good to see you again, too!

½ c. instant potato flakes
½ c. milk
1 c. light sour cream
4 oz. light cream cheese, softened (Neufchatel)
2 green onions, sliced & divided
1 c. sharp cheddar cheese, reduced fat
2 T. real bacon bits
1 box toasted chips, to dip

Preheat oven to 350º. Mix potato and milk and let stand 5 minutes to absorb. Add sour cream, cream cheese & one of the onions. Spoon into baking dish and sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits.
Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and dip is heated through. Sprinkle with remaining onion and serve with crackers.
