Bacon Ranch Dip (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 block (8 oz) softened cream cheese
02 -
1 cup tangy sour cream
03 -
1 packet (1 oz) ranch-flavored seasoning
04 -
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
05 -
3 chopped green onions
06 -
1/8 teaspoon flavored salt
→ Bacon Option
07 -
1/2 cup of bacon crumbles or 6 slices of chopped, cooked bacon
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab your electric whisk and blend the cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and a sprinkle of seasoned salt until it's smooth and creamy.
02 -
Fold in the onions, cheddar, and your choice of bacon (crumbles or cooked pieces) into the creamy mix, making sure everything blends well.
03 -
Scoop it into a bowl, cover it up, and pop it in the fridge. When ready to eat, let it sit out for 20 to 30 minutes so the cream cheese softens a little before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Leave the cream cheese out for about 30 minutes before mixing to make blending painless.
02 -
You can use pre-made bacon bits or cook some slices and crumble them up—it’s your call.
03 -
If the dip has been chilling, let it sit out for 20-30 minutes so it’s not too firm when served.
