Why I Love This Recipe

I love Bacon Ranch Dip because it checks all the boxes: creamy, cheesy, savoury, and super easy to make! It’s one of those dips you can whip up quickly with ingredients you probably already have in your fridge. Whether you serve it warm or cold, it’s always a winner, and the addition of bacon makes it extra special. Plus, it’s keto-friendly and is the perfect accompaniment to meal planning.

The Ingredients

Bacon: Crispy bacon adds the perfect crunch, but feel free to use turkey bacon or even crumbled sausage for a leaner option. Just make sure the meat is fully cooked and crispy before mixing it in.

Cheese: Cheddar is the standard choice, but any melty cheese like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack works well.

Cream Cheese: Be sure to soften the cream cheese to make mixing easier. You can substitute with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese if you’re looking for a lighter version, but keep in mind the dip might be less creamy.

Ranch Seasoning: Homemade Ranch Seasoning is easy to make, but you can also use store-bought ranch seasoning if you’re short on time.

Ways to Cook Bacon Ranch Dip

While this recipe calls for baking to melt the cheese and crisp the bacon, you can also serve it cold by skipping the oven step. Simply mix all the ingredients together, refrigerate for an hour and serve. If you prefer it warm, you can also use a slow cooker on low for a couple of hours or pop it in the microwave for a quick heat-up.

What to Serve with Bacon Ranch Dip

Bacon Ranch Dip pairs perfectly with a variety of dippers:

• Keto crackers: Crunchy, low-carb crackers make the ideal companion.
• Veggie sticks: Try cucumber slices, bell peppers, or celery.
• Chicken Skin Chips: Baked cheese crisps, chicken skin chips, or pork rinds are a great low-carb option.

Best Ways to Store Bacon Ranch Dip

Store any leftover Bacon Ranch Dip in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave or serve it chilled straight from the fridge for a warm dip. If making ahead, prepare the dip and keep it covered in the fridge until ready to bake or serve.
