Ingredients

• 16 oz sour cream (or two 8 oz containers)
• 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix (standard size)
• Real bacon bits – use generously for flavor
• Shredded cheese (cheddar jack or your favorite blend) – use generously

Instructions

1. Combine Sour Cream & Ranch: In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream with the dry ranch seasoning until smooth and well combined. This creates your creamy, flavorful base.
2. Add Bacon Bits: Gently fold in the bacon bits until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
3. Mix in Cheese: Add the shredded cheese and stir until fully incorporated.
4. Chill & Serve: Cover the dip and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld and the texture thicken slightly.
