Would seem like a good Sour Cream and Chive dip (Heluva Good is one
brand, usually there is a store brand, too) would work here. Just add
some shredded cheddar cheese to the recipe. 1/4 cup would do it.
Or see if there is a cheddar and chive dip.

To be honest, I have been known to use leftover bacon and horseradish
dip on a baked potato or mixed in to mashed potatoes and it's pretty
darn tasty!!!!
