  6. In the bowl, add the softened butter, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mash until smooth.
  7. Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Optionally, add bacon.

  9. Bake again for 15-20 minutes until tops are browned.
  10. Allow to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
