5S Philosophy 👩🏻‍

  • Salt – Dry ranch dressing mix already has salt, as do some of the dippers for this bacon ranch chip dip, so no additional salt should be needed.
  • Seasonings – In addition to the ranch, you can spice it up a little with some hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
  • Swaps – Instead of sour cream, you can swap it out for a plain greek yogurt instead. Stir a little cheddar cheese into the dip or on top for a real crowd pleaser.
  • Senses – Cool, creamy ranch meets smoky bacon in every scoop. The scent is savory and irresistible, with herbs and spice teasing the nose. Each bite is smooth, crunchy, tangy, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Perfect Pairings

My favorite way to serve this bacon ranch chip dip recipe is with kettle cooked chips. They are crispier, which means they won’t break in the dip bowl as easily. But if you don’t have any on hand, here are a few more options:

  • Pretzels
  • Crackers
  • Veggies (like carrot sticks, bell peppers, celery sticks or even broccoli and cauliflower)
  • Pita bread
  • Plantain chips
  • Tortilla chips

    How convenient — I have all the ingredients I need, except for the ranch seasoning… I do have fresh herbs, could I use them? Which ones would you recommend?

  2. 5 stars
    This dip is so good and so easy to put together. I serve it with a big bag of potato chips and it’s gone within minutes gobbled up by my family.
