Half a cup of bacon crumbles or 6 strips of cooked bacon, chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab an electric mixer and blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch mix, and seasoned salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
02 -
Combine the chopped green onions, bacon crumbles (or chopped cooked bacon), and shredded cheddar into the cream cheese mix. Make sure everything is evenly mixed.
03 -
Spoon the prepared mixture into a bowl, cover it, and pop it in the fridge. Before serving, let it sit out at room temperature for around 20-30 minutes so it softens up.
# Notes:
01 -
Leave the cream cheese on the counter for half an hour before mixing—it blends more easily.
02 -
Choose between pre-made bacon bits or freshly cooked bacon depending on what you prefer or have handy.

If you’ve had it chilling, let the dip rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature for a better texture.
