Dip Ingredients
- 8-ounce package cream cheese (softened)
- 1 package dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup cooked bacon (chopped)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 2-quart baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray; set aside to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dry ranch dressing mix, chopped cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and shredded cooked chicken. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Bake Dip: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, indicating it is fully cooked and ready to serve.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly cooked chicken and bacon.
- Serve warm with crackers, sliced vegetables, or toasted bread for dipping.
- To soften cream cheese quickly, microwave it for about 20-30 seconds before mixing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can make this dip ahead and bake just before serving.
