We are obsessed with the flavors of this loaded crack dip, it’s so addictive! Creamy cream cheese, tangy ranch, and crispy bacon come together with a handful of other simple ingredients for a cold appetizer that is bursting with flavor.
Crack Dip Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 (16-ounce) container of sour cream
- 1 packet dry Ranch dressing
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
MIX-INS: There are a lot of variations you can make to this creamy bacon cheddar ranch dip. Some folks like to add in a jalapeño or hot sauce for an extra spicy kick. I have a friend who adds in dill as well. Avocado or guacamole would be another great option. You could make it with sausage or chicken as well.
CHEESE: Any type of cheese would be delicious in this great dip. Try Colby jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, or what about a jalapeño-infused cheese for a little kick?
How To Make This Crack Dip Recipe
PRO TIP:
This easy dip recipe can be made a day ahead of time. The longer it stays in the refrigerator, the more flavorful the dip will become.
STEP ONE: In a large bowl, add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 16 ounces of sour cream, and the dry ranch seasoning mix. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
PRO TIP:
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature or you will end up with lumps in your dip.
STEP TWO: Next, add in all remaining ingredients, except for the chives. Stir to combine.
STEP THREE: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Top with chopped chives, add an extra sprinkle of bacon bits, and serve with tortilla chips.
PRO TIP:
I serve this cold, but some folks prefer it baked and served warm. If you make it hot, you could keep it warm in your slow cooker until you’re ready to serve. The flavor is award-winning any way you serve it.
How To Serve
Truly this stuff is so good you might just want to sit and eat it with a spoon! You can also dip fresh veggies – carrot or celery sticks or strips of green peppers are great options, tortilla chips, potato chips, bread, pretzels, or crackers in your cheesy crack dip. It’s the perfect appetizer!
