Cheddar Ranch Crack Dip is a popular party or snack dip that combines the flavors of cheddar cheese and ranch seasoning. It’s often called “crack dip” because it’s so addictive that people can’t stop eating it once they start. Here’s a basic recipe for Cheddar Ranch Crack Dip:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional, but delicious)
- 2-3 green onions, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream.
- Add the ranch seasoning mix to the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture. Stir well to combine, making sure the seasoning mix is fully incorporated into the creamy base.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir until the cheese is evenly distributed.
- If you’re using bacon, fold in the crumbled bacon pieces, which will add a savory and smoky flavor to the dip.
- If you’re using green onions, sprinkle them on top of the dip for added freshness and a pop of color.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. It’s even better if you can refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight.
- Serve your Cheddar Ranch Crack Dip with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
