Crack Dip
Cream cheese, sour cream, ranch, sharp cheddar, and bacon — a make-ahead party dip that works with chips or veggies.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried chives
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon 3 thick slices or 6 regular, cooked
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch packet with a mixer until smooth, scraping the bowl once. Start with half the ranch packet if you prefer less salt.
- Add the cheddar, garlic powder, chives, and bacon. Mix just until combined.
- Cover and chill at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days ahead.
- Serve with wavy chips, pita chips, or cut vegetables.
Notes
- Make it a day ahead — the flavor deepens overnight.
- On the salty side as written; use 1/2 to 3/4 of the ranch packet for a milder dip.
- Fresh green onions can replace the dried chives.
- Store-bought bacon crumbles work — use about 1/2 cup.
