Easy Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip Recipe
This tastes just like a cheese ball but in a creamier more dipable, no cracker-breaking form! I made it the week before Thanksgiving and loved it so I decided to make it to have around for the holidays with all the company we’d be having. You can never have enough tasty appetizers when it comes to hosting! This dip would be perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, game day, game nights, birthday parties, after-school snacks…. Let’s just say everyone was coming back for more at my house, and they’ll be loving it at your house, too!
Ingredients for Ranch Dip
Sour cream Neufchatel Cheese or cream cheese Ranch dressing mix or seasoning pack Green onions Cheddar Bacon or bacon bits Parsley (for garnish)
It’s the Ultimate Veggie and Cracker Dip
When I know this is in the fridge I just keep reaching in and grabbing some veggies to dive into this dip. I love everything about it. I mean with ingredients like bacon, cheddar and ranch how could you go wrong? All the best things in one incredible dip that is destined to please. And the instructions? Just mix it all up! Serve this delicious crack dip with:
Potato chips Celery sticks Carrots Tortilla Chips Bell Peppers Broccoli & cauliflower Cherry tomatoes
This will be a regular on my holiday menu and maybe take over that yearly holiday cheese ball tradition my mom used to have. It’s absolutely delicious and perfectly irresistible. Make it soon and enjoy! Just FYI if you don’t like things very salty you can use low-sodium bacon or you can add a little more sour cream to balance out the salt from the ranch seasoning packets. My family likes a bit of salt so it was perfect for us but if you don’t like much salt then adjust accordingly. You can also make a thick dip more loose by adding a splash of buttermilk. What I love most about this recipe is that you can make it ahead of time. You can whip it up in a medium bowl before heading to any family function, just be sure and cover it with Glad Press’n Seal Wrap beforehand and leave it to chill in the fridge until ready to eat.
