- ½ cup Crumbled bacon, can substitute bacon bits
- ½ cup Butter, melted
- 1 Tablespoon Ranch dressing seasoning, use the dried seasoning packet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Using a sharp bread knife, cut the bread in diagonal in one-inch sections - making sure you don't go all the way through the bread.
