Recipe Inspiration
I am pretty much a dip fanatic, and this Ranch Dip is by far my favorite dip I have made. I was inspired to make this recipe after doing a holiday round-up for 50 of the Best Holiday Appetizers. There were so many delicious appetizers, and I knew I would make at least 2/3 of them before Christmas.
We are obsessed with Homemade Ranch Dressing, so inspired by the classic dressing, we created the ultimate dip.

But since I am not a huge mayo fan, I wanted to play with the base of the dip to make it more suitable. So I added sour cream, and since ranch dressing is a family favorite, I threw in some ranch seasoning, and viola, this became one of our favorite dips.
The bacon and the cheddar cheese add just enough saltiness to take away the tangy from the mayo and sour cream. The green onions add some depth to the flavor.

How to Make Ranch Dip

The first time I made this, I tried to tell my hubs to back off because we were taking it to a party and honestly, I was shocked it made it there.
I love eating it with a variety of dippers from crackers to chips and carrots. But, honestly, I can eat it by the spoonful, too!
This Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip will quickly become your to-go-to appetizer whether it be for the holidays, football tailgating or college basketball playoffs. Enjoy friends.

I know for sure this Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip would be a huge hit in my house!
I am drooling over this ranch dip! It has all the flavor I love!
This is one of our favorite dips and so addicting! Perfect for our get togethers too! Such a great recipe too!
This is our favorite for football season! My kids talk about it all year long.
Can’t wait to make this for game days!
Looks beyond delicious! That is definitely a must make!
it has a very strong taste of mayo. I would recommend swapping the mayo and sour cream measurements or just use all sour cream. I also added garlic powder and additional ranch seasoning to try to mask the mayo but it still is so strong.
Yum! This dip was so good, I had to make extra – I ate most of it before the party started. Super creamy and flavorful, and the texture is spot on. Thanks for sharing!
love this!
This would be so good with mini boiled potatoes, cut in half, for an appetizer or side dish.
