Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1 oz package ranch seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 green onions, diced
  • 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits or 6 pieces cooked chopped bacon

Instructions

  1. Mix base ingredients: Using an electric mixer, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning packet, and seasoned salt together until smooth and creamy, ensuring all seasoning is evenly incorporated.
  2. Add mix-ins: Gently fold in the diced green onions, chopped bacon (or bacon bits), and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing carefully to combine all ingredients without breaking up the cheese and bacon excessively.
  3. Chill before serving: Cover the dip and refrigerate it for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up, making it perfect for dipping when served chilled.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use freshly cooked and crisped bacon pieces instead of store-bought bacon bits.
  • Serve with an assortment of chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks like celery and carrot.
  • This dip can be made a day ahead to save time and improve flavor infusion.
  • Keeping the dip chilled will maintain its creamy texture and prevent separation.
