Crack Dip l Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons

Made with sour cream, ranch seasoning, bacon, and cheddar cheese, this Crack Dip recipe is absolutely irresistible. Ready in just 5 minutes with 5 ingredients, this savory dip is a guaranteed hit at your next party.

This crack dip is the dip version of my crack chicken (minus the chicken). It’s creamy, cheesy, and absolutely irresistible with sour cream, ranch seasoning, cheese and bacon. And like my crack chicken recipe, it’s inspired a bunch of other equally addicting recipes like crack chicken pinwheels, crack potatoes, crack chicken dip, and crack chicken noodle soup.

Why You’ll Love This Crack Dip Recipe

This might be one of the most addictive dips I’ve ever made. Here are a few reasons why I love it so much.

• 5 ingredients. Yup, that’s right – only 5 ingredients are needed to make this savory dip. Half of the time I don’t even need to grab anything at the store because I have it all here.
• 5 minutes prep. This dip is SO easy to make. Just combine the ingredients and pop them in the fridge for an hour so the flavors have time to meld.
• A party favorite. This is one of the first dips to disappear at any gathering I serve it at. I offer it with a variety of dippers, like crackers and veggies, and everyone is always asking for the recipe.

What You’ll Need

Here are the 5 ingredients you’ll need for your crack dip recipe. Scroll down to the recipe card below for measurements.

• Sour cream – The tangy, creamy base to the dip. But don’t worry, the dip doesn’t taste too sour cream-y since we’re adding lots of other flavor.
• Ranch seasoning – Part of what makes this dip so addicting! Grab a packet of Hidden Valley at the store or use your favorite homemade seasoning.
• Bacon – I like to cook and crumble bacon myself though you could also use bacon bits. I think freshly cooked bacon gives the best flavor, though, and you can keep the pieces a bit bigger.
• Shredded cheese – Mild cheddar and sharp cheddar both work here! Freshly shredded from the block is best.
• Green onions – Chopped for a bit of color and earthy flavor.

How To Make Crack Dip

This dip really does come together in just 5 minutes! Be sure to allow time for it to chill too.

• Combine the ingredients. Mix together the sour cream and ranch seasoning then stir in the bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions. (Reserve some of each for garnish.)
• Chill. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
• Serve. Garnish with extra bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions then serve.

Serving Suggestions

You can dip pretty much anything into crack dip! Here are a few of my favorites:

• Tortilla chips
• Potato chips
• Baguettes
• Ritz crackers
• Triscuits
• Celery sticks or carrot sticks
• Cucumber slices

You can also use this dip in other fun ways, like as a filling for mushrooms (then bake them…yum!) or as a spread on a sandwich.

Proper Storage

Store crack dip in a covered container in the fridge. It’s best when eaten within 3-4 days.
