Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream (or mayonnaise)
  • 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix (not ranch dressing)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Toppings

  • 1 Roma tomato, finely diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dip base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Ranch seasoning mix, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended. Optionally, add 2-3 strips of cooked and crumbled bacon to the dip mixture for added flavor.
  2. Spread the dip: Transfer the mixed dip to the bottom of a 9-inch serving bowl or a pie pan. Spread evenly while leaving a small border around the edge of the bowl.
  3. Add lettuce perimeter: Fill the perimeter around the edge of the dip with the finely shredded iceberg lettuce, creating a fresh green ring.
  4. Top the dip: Sprinkle the finely diced Roma tomato evenly over the dip followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Finish with bacon: Top the dip with the remaining crumbled cooked bacon for a crunchy, savory finish.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately with your choice of dippers such as crackers, tortilla chips, or sliced vegetables.

Notes

  • For best results, soften the cream cheese ahead of time to make mixing easier.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise for sour cream if preferred for a different texture.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for a heartier flavor and crisp textures.
  • This dip is perfect for parties and can be made a few hours ahead; keep refrigerated until serving.
  • Suggested dippers include crackers, tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks like celery and carrots.
