Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

Toppings

  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips or Fritos

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Creamy Base: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for a smooth blend. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise until fully mixed and creamy.
  2. Add the Cheesy and Savory Elements: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon bits, chopped green onions, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the dip base.
  3. Chill for Flavor Development: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together and to make the dip easier to scoop.
  4. Finish with a Crunchy Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle a generous layer of crushed tortilla chips or Fritos on top to add a satisfying crunchy contrast to the creamy dip.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free dip.
  • Mix ingredients gently to keep the dip light in texture.
  • Chill adequately to enhance flavor blending.
  • Add fresh chopped green onions or herbs right before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
  • Add crunchy toppings immediately before serving to prevent sogginess.
