Barbecue Bacon Ranch Dip
This tasty Barbecue Bacon Ranch Dip is the perfect appetizer for holiday parties. It is a twist on a classic ranch dip, adding barbecue sauce, cheese, tomatoes and lots of bacon. I used my favorite brand of barbecue sauce for this, Sweet Baby Ray’s.
Be sure to go with a sturdy cracker like wheat thins for this dip as more tender crackers will break trying to scoop the cream cheese mixture. Enjoy!
Barbecue Bacon Ranch Dip
Makes 12+ servings
Ingredients:
- 12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 oz package dry ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup quality BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray’s original flavor)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar blend)
- for serving: sturdy crackers such as wheat thins
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and dry ranch mix until well combined. Spread into a pie dish. Pour barbecue sauce evenly over cream cheese.
- Layer with most of the crumbled bacon, reserving some for garnish. Add most of the green onion, reserving some for garnish as well. Add diced tomato and cheese.
- Top with remaining bacon and green onion. Cover and let chill for flavors to come together. Allow dip to come to room temperature before serving.
