Recipe Notes:
This recipe was inspired by Trader Joe’s Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip! We put our own spin on it. Their dip is insane!! So creamy and rich. Delicious. This dip has more of a cream cheese base, making it a bit thicker, and has a lot of green onions.
Seasoning: Everything is sort of to taste in this recipe, and we love a punch of onion in here. Ease up on the green onions a bit if you’re less enthusiastic about green onions than we are.
Bacon: The bacon bits are certainly a shortcut in this recipe. Cooking up some bacon to amplify this dip would be amazing, but it’s extra work that we don’t always find necessary. You could also simply crisp up your bacon bits in a pan as well. We find the best deals on bacon bits at Costco or Aldi, two of our most favorite grocery stores.
Serve With: If you’re on a keto diet like we follow most of the time, we love to dip things like veggies, pork rinds, low carb crackers and spread on low carb bread for sandwiches. We imagine this would also make an amazing topping for a burger! We’ve linked some of our favorite ready made snacks in our Amazon store if you’re looking for ideas!

Let’s Make It!
Bring your cream cheese out on the counter about a half hour before making this dip for best results. It mixes much better once it has softened a bit. You could also microwave the cream cheese for a short amount of time to soften it. If you’re making bacon to crumble, do this now. If you want to crisp up your bacon bits in a pan, this is when you could do it. Dice up your green onions. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream and cream cheese until smooth, then stir in your salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. Then, stir in your green onions
Fold in bacon bits, and cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle on more green onions for garnish if you want, and just dip, and serve. Put it on everything basically.
