Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Golden Crunchy Cheese Cups
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Ridged potato chips | 24 |
| Shredded sharp cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Crumbled cooked bacon | 2 tablespoons |
| Sliced green onions | 2 tablespoons |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan (or two 12-cup mini muffin pans).
-
Arrange chip shells: Place 1 ridged potato chip into each muffin cup, nestling them gently so they sit like individual mini shells.
-
Fill cups: Sprinkle a generous pinch of shredded cheddar cheese into each chip shell, then top with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
-
Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly, and the chip edges are crispy and golden.
-
Cool and serve: Allow the cheese cups to rest in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes to set before carefully lifting them out and serving warm.
