Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream

- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish and set aside.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature; microwave for 15 seconds if needed.
- In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and sour cream with a hand mixer until silky smooth (2-3 minutes).
- Add ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and black pepper; mix gently to combine.
- Fold in chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions using a spatula.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly around the edges and lightly golden on top.
- Let the dip cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to set and prevent burns.
Notes
For extra crispy bacon bits, cook bacon on a baking sheet while the dip bakes. If dip is too runny, bake a few extra minutes. Use vegan or dairy-free substitutes for a dairy-free version, but texture will vary. Sour cream can be swapped with Greek yogurt for added protein. Vegetarian options include sautéed mushrooms or smoked paprika instead of bacon.
