Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 6-8 strips)
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (you can use homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or green onions, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the ingredients:
- Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. You can use pre-cooked bacon if you prefer to save time.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if you’re using a block of cheese.
- Mix the dip:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Stir everything together until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill (optional but recommended):
- While you can serve the dip immediately, it’s best to chill it in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh chives or green onions if desired, and serve with keto-friendly dippers such as celery sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or pork rinds.
Tips:
- Ranch seasoning: You can make your own keto-friendly ranch seasoning by mixing dried parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Customize it: You can add other mix-ins like chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick or even some diced avocado for extra creaminess.
- Storage: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
