Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create your new favorite dip:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (because bacon makes everything better!)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for some kick!

Steps to Make Crack Dip

  1. Mix It Up: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix. Use a mixer if you have one, but if not, a good old-fashioned spatula will do the trick.

  2. Add the Goodies: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions until well combined. This is where the magic happens! You want your dip to look colorful and delightful.

  3. Chill and Serve: Once everything is mixed, refrigerate the dish for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to marry beautifully—just like you and your favorite TV show! But if you’re in a hurry, no one will judge you for diving in early!

  4. Garnish and Enjoy: Before serving, sprinkle some extra bacon bits and green onions on top for that wow factor. Pair with chips, crostini, or fresh veggies and watch friends and family devour it in seconds!

Cooking Tips

  • Don’t have cooked bacon on hand? Feel free to use bacon bits or even turkey bacon if you’re looking for a lighter option. Just know that we all understand if you sneak a piece or two while cooking—it’s basically a rite of passage in the kitchen!
  • If you want a little extra kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into your mixture before chilling. Your taste buds will thank you!
