Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Serving Platter
Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon about 8-10 strips
- 4 green onions finely chopped
For Serving
- 1 round bread loaf sourdough recommended
- 2 tbsp fresh chives for garnish
- extra bread pieces from hollowed loaf for dipping
Instructions
- Cut a circular opening at the top of your bread loaf, then carefully hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch border along the sides and bottom. Cut the removed bread into cubes for dipping.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Fold in the ranch seasoning mix, shredded cheese, cooked bacon (reserve 2 tablespoons for topping), and most of the green onions (save some for garnish).
- Spoon your mixture into the hollowed bread boat, creating a slightly mounded top.
- Sprinkle with remaining bacon, green onions, and fresh chives.
- Arrange the bread boat on a large serving platter surrounded by the reserved bread cubes, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
For a healthier version, replace half the cream cheese with pureed white beans, use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon, or opt for Greek yogurt to boost protein while cutting calories.
To prevent sogginess, brush the inside of the bread bowl with a thin layer of olive oil if preparing in advance.
For food safety, avoid leaving the dip at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
