Christina's Notes
- Plan ahead: Let the cream cheese sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you start mixing. This makes it much easier to blend smoothly.
- Double the Recipe: This dip is the perfect appetizer to serve for a crowd. Double this ranch recipe by increasing the ingredients proportionally.
- Homemade Ranch: Make this cheddar bacon dip with a homemade ranch dressing mix.
- Sharp cheddar: Choose a sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor in this delicious dip.
- Fresh herbs: If possible, use fresh chives instead of dried.
- Cream Cheese: Use an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer) to thoroughly cream together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. This creates a smooth and creamy base.
