Creamy Cheesy Bacon Ranch Dip Recipe

Yield: About 2 cups of dip
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

This creamy cheesy bacon ranch dip recipe is full of flavor that's great on veggies, chips, crackers and more.

Ingredients

  • 1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup Prepared Ranch Dressing
  • 5oz finely shredded cheese, I used Colby Jack
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked to crisp and then finely chopped
  • Pinch of garlic salt and ground black pepper
  • Dippers such as: crackers, raw broccoli florets, chips, carrot sticks, pretzels, celery sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, green onions

Instructions

  1. Place cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing into a medium-sized mixing bowl and beat on medium-high with an electric hand mixer until all ingredients are smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
  2. Add in cheese and bacon, saving about a half tablespoon of each to sprinkle on top, and garlic salt and pepper, stirring with a spatula or mixer on low until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate dip until ready to serve. The dip may slightly thicken the longer it refrigerates. If so, you can add a tablespoon or two of milk, half & half or cream to get it back to dipping consistency.
  4. Spoon dip into a bowl and place on a tray surrounded by your desired dippers. Sprinkle the bacon and cheese you set aside on top of the dip just before serving.

Notes

Dip can be made the night before serving. Just wait to sprinkle the garnish on top just before serving.

Love the dip and so do my friends. They always ask me to make ie when we get together. I do make one change -- I add real horseradish to taste. Thanks again for the recipe.

My favorite way to eat bleu cheese and ranch dressing is on a garden fresh salad. Yum!

My favorite way to use bleu cheese or ranch dressing is green salads.

My favorite way to use blue cheese, besides on a salad, is on a buffalo chicken breast sandwich I make.
