    The Best Crack Dip

    This super easy crack dip recipe is one of those appetizers that everyone will be talking about. It's incredibly creamy, savory, and packed with flavor from the bacon bits, shredded cheese, and ranch seasoning mix. 

    Gah, it's just so good!

    I love making this cheesy crack dip recipe whenever I'm hosting a get-together, big or small. It can be served with all sorts of things like crackers, bread, pit chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks - you name it. Honestly, it can make cardboard taste good!

    There's truly no other savory dip recipe like it, and I simply can't get enough of it.

    Along with everyone always loving it though, another reason this ranch crack dip is my go-to appetizer is that the whole thing comes together in only minutes! There's no special equipment required, you just mix everything up in a bowl and let guests help themselves. It's that simple!

    Anyway, when it comes to serving, I like to serve my ranch crack dip with these air fryer tortilla chips and this Little Caesar's crazy bread. Both are just absolutely perfect for spreading the crack dip on. But, again, just about anything you serve it with will taste incredible.

    Ingredients

    As I mentioned before, the ingredient list for this crack dip recipe is super straightforward. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you have most - if not all - of them at home already.

    Anyway, here's what you'll need to make it:

    • 2 cups sour cream
    • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • 2 tbsp. Ranch seasoning mix
    • ¼ cup bacon bits
    • ¼ cup green onions, sliced

    Pretty simple stuff, right?!

    By the way, if you have all of these ingredients, then you just need some shredded chicken and a few other things to make this crack chicken pasta, crack chicken casserole and crack chicken noodle soup next!

    Ingredient Substitutions And Suggestions

    I really think that this crack dip recipe tastes best when made with the exact ingredients listed above. But, with that said, there's definitely some room to modify the recipe to suit your tastes and preferences, and maybe save you a trip to the store too.

    For instance, this recipe calls for sour cream, but if you're out you can swap it for some softened cream cheese.

    As for the bacon bits, if you don't have the store-bought kind, you can just cook a few slices of fresh bacon - or turkey bacon - and then just crumble it on top of the dip right before it's ready.

    Lastly, for the cheese, I always use shredded cheddar cheese, but you can use pepper jack cheese if you want to add a little spice. Then, to turn the heat up even another notch you can leave a bottle of hot sauce and some cayenne pepper around the dip for people to add to their serving as they'd like.

    How To Make Crack Dip

    As you know by now this crack dip only takes a few minutes to make. Honestly, the most time-consuming part about the whole thing is getting out the ingredients.

    Seriously, making this creamy bacon dip is that easy.

    Anyway, I know you're getting hungry, so let's stop wasting time and get cooking.

    Step 1: Mix The Ingredients

    First, if you aren't using pre-cooked bacon bits, you'll want to cook the bacon and then crumble it into bacon bits and set aside.

    Then, take out a large bowl and add the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch seasoning mix and mix everything together with a fork - or spatula - until smooth.

    Step 2: Serve The Crack Dip

    So, once the dip is mixed, you can transfer it to a bowl, top it with the cooked crumbled bacon bits and chopped green onions and serve it!

    By the way, as far as what to serve this dip with, I recommend pairing it with some bread, crackers, and veggies.

    How To Store Crack Dip

    This recipe for crack dip makes about 2 cups worth of dip.

    With that said, if you're planning on serving this sour cream crack dip at a party, I would definitely recommend making a double - or triple - batch of it because it'll be gone in seconds.

    By the way, if you have any dip left over, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. It's just as good the day/s after you make it as it is the first day you make it.
