Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup (100 grams) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Blend until creamy and lump-free using a hand mixer or spatula (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the ranch seasoning mix and stir well until evenly distributed.
- Fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese gently.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and thicken the dip.
- Scoop the dip into a serving dish and serve with your favorite dippers such as tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot slices, or soft pretzels.
Notes
Softening the cream cheese is key to avoid lumps. Use full-fat dairy for best texture and flavor. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. For a warm version, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden. Variations include adding jalapeños for spice or omitting bacon for a vegetarian version.
