Categories     Appetizer     Snack

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz Cream cheese
3/4 cup Ranch dressing ((for a thick dressing; use 2/3 cup if using a thin one))
1/3 cup Sour cream
1 cup Cheddar cheese ((shredded))
1/3 cup Bacon bits ((cooked))
1/3 cup Green onions ((chopped))
1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper ((optional - or more to taste))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
  • Heat the cream cheese gently in the microwave on medium power, or on the stove in a double boiler, until it's warm and easy to stir. (Don't get it scalding hot, just warm. If it's too hot, wait for it to cool to be just warm before the next step, to avoid curdling the ranch and sour cream.)
  • Stir the ranch dressing into the cream cheese, until smooth, then stir in the sour cream. Stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Transfer the dip into a 1/2 quart (1/2 liter) glass or stoneware baking dish like this one.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, until hot and bubbly at the edges underneath. Serve hot or warm, with veggies or low carb crackers.
