If using raw beef bacon, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.
Stir in the smoked gouda cheese, chopped beef bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
