Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1-oz) package ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup chopped cooked bacon
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (16-oz) container sour cream
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, chopped cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped cooked chicken. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Bake the Dip: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly cooked bacon and chicken for maximum flavor and texture.
  • This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks like celery and carrots.
  • To keep the dip warm for a party, transfer it to a slow cooker on the warm setting after baking.
  • You can prepare the dip mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it; just add extra baking time if baking straight from cold.
  • Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce can add a spicy kick if desired.
