Cheddar Ranch Crack Dip is one of those dangerously addictive party dips that disappears almost as soon as it hits the table. Creamy, savory, and loaded with bold ranch flavor, salty bacon bits, and sharp cheddar cheese, it’s no surprise this one earns its “crowd favorite” status every single time. Simple to make and impossible to resist, it’s perfect for game days, potlucks, holidays, or casual snacking.
The magic of this dip is in its simplicity and patience. While it’s delicious right after mixing, letting it rest in the refrigerator allows the ranch seasoning to fully bloom and the flavors to meld into a rich, well-balanced dip. The result is thick, scoopable, and packed with flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 16 oz sour cream – Forms the creamy, tangy base of the dip.
- 1 oz packet ranch dressing mix – Provides bold, herby ranch flavor.
- 3 oz bacon bits (packet, not jar) – Adds smoky, salty crunch.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – Brings richness and sharpness.
Instructions
Mix the dip
In a medium mixing bowl, add the sour cream, ranch dressing mix, bacon bits, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly combined and the seasoning is fully incorporated into the sour cream. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so no dry seasoning remains.
Chill for best flavor
