Ingredients:
- 8 oz (1 cup) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or 2 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked, crumbled bacon
- ¼ cup chopped green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: If you’re serving it warm, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning. Stir until smooth.
- Add the Goodies: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and half of the green onions. Save some bacon and green onions for topping!
- Bake (Optional): Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle some extra cheddar on top and bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Garnish with the reserved bacon and green onions. Serve warm or cold with keto-friendly dippers like celery sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or keto crackers.
Tips:
- Make Ahead: You can prep this dip a day in advance and bake just before serving.
- Add a Kick: Sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for a spicy twist.
