Sometimes I just want the cheesiest, savoriest, most decadent dip I can get my hands on for my cheat day, and sometimes ok, always I succeed in finding it.
Well, I suppose this time I didn’t find it or anything but made it. I kept seeing versions of this ‘crack dip’ online and obviously with a name like that I was intrigued. This dip by far exceeds any expectation I had y’all, it is cheesy, and savory and did I mention it has bacon bits in it?!
The ranch dressing mix which makes everything better in it gives it this extra oomph of awesome. This dip was in the pan and ready to be baked in less than 10 minutes, sooo obvi it is super easy to throw together.
After the first bite insert awesome eye roll here I couldn’t stop, it is no joke addicting, hence the ‘crack’ in the name. I’m gonna be honest and admit I devoured every bit of this stuff, so freaking good! 🙂

- 8 Ounces of Cream Cheese, Softened.
- 1 (1 Ounce) Package of Ranch Dressing Mix.
- 1 (3 Ounce) Bag of Bacon Bits.
- 2 Cups of Cheddar Cheese, Shredded.
- 16 Ounces of Sour Cream.
- 1 Quart Baking Dish or 6" Baking Dish.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment add your cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and bacon bits into your bowl.
- Mix all ingredients together until well incorporated and the texture is creamy.
- Now place your mix into your dish and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes (I took mine out 28) or until hot and bubbly, serve immediately.
- Different versions of this recipe called for a 2 quart baking dish which I found to be too big for the amount it makes, so I used a smaller round dish.
Where are my chips? I want some of that
OMG April, you would looove this stuff, soo good 🙂
I may make it for a baby shower I’m going to next month
Can’t wait to try it!
I just love it! I hope you do too! 🙂 -Holly
My sister made this a month ago. It definitely lives up to its name “crack” .
Highly recommended!
That’s so awesome! So glad y’all loved this crack dip as much I do 🙂
I may add a pound of sausage and use Velveeta instead of shredded…what do ya think???
The Velveeta will take a big longer to melt so make sure to adjust the time for that, but the sausage and Velveeta sounds really yummy! Let me know how it turns out 🙂
How many people does this feed?
Haha well I think it depends how hungry everyone is, but I made it in a 1 quart baking dish which isn’t huge, but I think it would feed 3 adults easily.
What about making this in a slow cooker? For 50-75 people?
I don’t see why not, but since I’ve never done that before, keep the temperature low/medium and just watch it so you can gauge if the temp needs to go up or be cooked longer 🙂
I absolutely love this!!! I made it for a football party and doubled the recipe, used a bigger bowl. It was wonderful!
Hey Trudy!! thanks so much! I’m so glad you loved this too! 😀
Best served with…chips? Crackers?
Hey Alison-
I have eaten this with crackers and slices of bread, equally delicious in my opinion but totally up to your preference. The dip is pretty salty so I preferred the plain slightly toasted bread.
Could I make this with real bacon??
Hey Jody! absolutely! I don’t see why not 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
What do you serve this with?
Hey Amanda! you can serve this with toasted bread, chips, even pretzels if you wanted.
