Easy Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip Recipe
This tastes just like a cheese ball but in a creamier more dip-able, 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. Let’s just say everyone was coming back for more!
Ingredients for Ranch Dip
- Sour cream
- Neufchatel Cheese
- Ranch seasoning packet
- Green onions
- Cheddar
- Bacon
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.
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 salt you can use low-sodium bacon or you can add a little more sour cream to balance out the salt. My family likes a bit of salt so it was perfect for us but if you don’t like much salt then adjust accordingly.
What I love most about this recipe is that you can make it ahead of time. You can whip it up the before heading to any family function, just be sure and cover it with Glad Press’n Seal Wrap beforehand.
