Description

This Quick and Easy Boat Dip is creamy, savory, and perfect for any gathering. Made with ranch seasoning, bacon, and cheddar, it’s a chill-and-serve crowd-pleaser you’ll want in your recipe rotation.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups sour cream

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup bacon bits

1/4 cup diced green onions

Optional: 2 tablespoons diced jalapeños or 2 tablespoons chopped black olives


Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream and ranch seasoning mix until smooth.

2. Fold in the cheddar cheese and bacon bits until evenly combined.

3. Add the green onions and mix again.

4. Stir in optional ingredients like jalapeños or olives if desired.

5. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

6. Serve cold with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.


Notes

Full-fat sour cream gives the dip the best texture; avoid fat-free versions.

Let the dip chill for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.

Use freshly cooked bacon crumbles for added crunch and flavor instead of packaged bits.
