8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
2 tablespoons dried ranch seasoning mix
1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese and sour cream in a medium mixing bowl.
Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to beat the ingredients together until they are smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and dried ranch seasoning mix until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish the top with the sliced green onion.
Serve cold with crackers, vegetable sticks, or chips.
Notes
You can make this dip up to 24 hours ahead of time; cover tightly and store in the refrigerator.
For a thicker dip, reduce the sour cream amount slightly.
Use pre-cooked, real bacon bits for the quickest preparation.
