  5. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and garlic powder to a large bowl. Mix until smooth. Mix in the bacon, broccoli, and shredded cheddar cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to an 8x10-inch baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the crumbled Ritz crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle on top of the dip.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden.
  8. Serve warm with Ritz crackers and broccoli florets.
