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 and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin (or two 12-cup tins).
-
Arrange chips: Place one ridged potato chip into each muffin cup, nestling it down gently so it forms a shallow cup.
-
Fill cups: Sprinkle a generous pinch of shredded sharp cheddar into each chip cup, then top with a bit of crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
-
Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheddar cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the chips turn deep golden and crisp.
-
Cool and serve: Allow the cups to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes to set, then carefully lift them out and serve warm.
