Start with 1/2 cup of Duke's mayonnaise in a mixing bowl.

Add about half a block of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Chop 4 strips of bacon and add to the bowl, saving a little for garnish.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the mixture.

Slice some green onions and add to the bowl, reserving some for garnish later.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper if desired for heat.

Mix all the ingredients together until combined, but not completely smooth for texture.

If the mixture seems dry, save some mayonnaise to add later before serving.

Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld together before serving.
