Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon (7 g / 0.25 oz) Ranch Dressing Mix, Dry
  • 8 Ounces (226 g / 8 oz) Cream Cheese, Full Fat, Softened
  • 2 Slices Bacon
  • For the creamiest possible texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before you begin mixing.
  • Elevate the flavor by adding 1/4 cup (960 ml) of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of finely chopped chives or green onions.
  • This dip is even better when made ahead! Prepare it a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge to let the flavors deepen.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C.
  3. Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  4. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and allow it to cool completely.
  5. Once cool, crumble it into small pieces.
  6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the dry ranch dressing mix.
  7. Beat with a hand mixer or stir vigorously with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  8. Fold in most of the crumbled bacon, reserving a pinch for garnish if desired.
  9. Mix until just distributed throughout the cream cheese.
  10. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This chilling time is crucial for the flavors to meld together for the best taste.
