Looking for a new dip recipe? This one truly is irresistible, and in fact it’s so good you should probably make extra. Cream cheese, sour cream and cheddar cheese combine with bacon, green onions and a little ranch dressing mix to make one of the best ever dipping sauces you ever tried. It’s thick and rich, with the distinctive flavor of ranch dressing. Bacon features in this easy dip recipe and, let’s face it, bacon makes everything better!
Along with the bacon, sour cream and cheeses, this dip has green onions, so it’s rather reminiscent of loaded baked potatoes, a dish that uses most of those ingredients but heaps the mixture over a baked potato. This dip, on the other hand, is a looser consistency, making it ideal for dipping vegetable crudites, bread sticks, chips, crackers, or anything else you want to dip. Not only is this dip really tasty but it’s also low in carbs.
You’ll want to make this wonderful dip time and time again. It really is that good! The combination of cheese, bacon, green onions, and more ensure plenty of incredible flavor in every mouthful.
