Dip Ingredients

  • 16 oz sour cream
  • 1 oz packet ranch dressing mix
  • 3 oz packet bacon bits
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly mix together the sour cream, ranch dressing mix, bacon bits, and shredded cheddar cheese until all components are evenly incorporated.
  2. Chill the Dip: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, prepare the dip the day before serving and chill overnight.
  3. Serve: Once chilled, serve the dip cold alongside your favorite chips, crackers, or pretzels for dipping.

  • Use full-fat sour cream for a richer taste or reduced-fat for a lighter option.
  • Can substitute bacon bits with cooked and crumbled bacon if preferred.
