Basic Ingredients:

  • block of cream cheese and a stick of butter
  • sour cream
  • real mayonnaise
  • dry ranch seasoning
  • bacon, cooked and chopped
  • shredded cheddar cheese (or any shredded cheese flavor you love will work)

Expert Dip Tips

  • I didn’t add many onions into the mix, and I think it’s better this way!
  • I use a hand mixer. I find it blends thick things like cream cheese and butter better.
  • Soften butter by leaving it on the counter, unwrapped, for about 30 minutes before cooking. You can soften it on defrost in the microwave to speed things up, but be careful not to MELT the butter completely, or it will be mushy. It just needs to be softened enough to blend.

  • Have any “Don’t tell the doctor dip” left over? Try adding to baked potatoes as a topping!
  • Mix this dip by skipping the ranch seasoning and adding a taco seasoning packet instead!

Finish out the Party Snacks

Parties are way more than dip! Try fabulous finger foods like air fryer chicken wings, bacon wrapped Jalapenos (or the Halloween mummy version), or these deep fried deviled eggs.
