Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) dry ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Beat them together with a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, toasted pecans, and the dry ranch seasoning mix. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese base.
  3. Transfer the dip mixture to your serving bowl.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  5. Serve cold with your favorite crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can mix in 1/4 cup of finely chopped pickled jalapeños for a slight kick.
  • Toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
  • This dip is excellent made one day ahead of time; the flavor deepens overnight.
