Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Toppings
- ½ cup iceberg lettuce (shredded)
- 1 Roma tomato (diced)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and garlic powder together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Then gently stir in about half of the crumbled bacon to infuse the dip with smoky flavor.
- Spread the Dip: Evenly spread the prepared dip mixture on the bottom of a serving bowl or on a flat platter to form a base layer for the toppings.
- Add Lettuce: Sprinkle the shredded iceberg lettuce evenly over the surface of the dip, or arrange it around the edges to create a fresh, crisp layer.
- Add Tomatoes: Scatter the diced Roma tomatoes on top of the lettuce to add a juicy, tangy component to the dip.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly cover the tomato layer with the shredded cheddar cheese, which will add a rich, sharp flavor and help bind the toppings together.
- Top with Bacon: Finish by sprinkling the remaining crumbled bacon over the cheese layer for that classic smokey crunch on top.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately with your choice of chips or crackers for dipping. This dip is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crunch of the bacon and lettuce.
Notes
- For best results, use fully softened cream cheese to easily blend the ingredients.
- Bacon can be cooked in advance and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
- Feel free to customize the ranch seasoning amount to suit your taste preference.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Try serving with a variety of dippers such as pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
