Ingredients
Cream Cheese – forms the thick, smooth base of the dip
Sour Cream – adds tanginess and softens the richness of cream cheese
Shredded Cheddar Cheese – provides sharp, melty goodness throughout
Crispy Bacon – adds smoky, salty crunch and extra flavor depth
Diced Jalapeños – brings a mild to medium heat kick
Ranch Seasoning – infuses savory herb and spice flavors
Chopped Green Onions – adds freshness and mild onion notes
Instructions
Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble or chop.
Soften the cream cheese for easier mixing.
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
Fold in cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, jalapeños, bacon, and green onions.
Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Serve with chips, crackers, or veggies.
Notes
You can prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
To reduce heat, use fewer jalapeños or opt for mild green chilies.
Keep warm in a slow cooker for longer events.
Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting results.
