Description

The No Name Dip is a creamy, cheesy party favorite perfect for gatherings and easy snacking. Combining cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, bacon, and ranch seasoning, this no-cook dip is packed with savory flavor and a hint of spice when adding hot sauce or jalapeño. It’s simple to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser served chilled with crackers, chips, or fresh veggies.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream

Cheese & Seasoning

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)

Fresh Add-ins

  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Optional

  • 1–2 tablespoons hot sauce or 1 jalapeño, diced

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy, then let it cool completely and crumble into small pieces for texture and smoky flavor.
  2. Prepare Fresh Ingredients: Chop the green onions finely and shred the cheddar cheese if using a block to ensure even distribution in the dip.
  3. Mix Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream, mixing until smooth and homogenous for a creamy foundation.
  4. Add Seasoning and Cheese: Stir in the ranch seasoning mix and shredded cheddar cheese thoroughly, allowing the flavors to blend evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Combine Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped green onions and most of the crumbled bacon, leaving some bacon aside for a crispy topping.
  6. Chill the Dip: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the dip firm up slightly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the reserved bacon and a little extra cheddar on top for garnish and added flavor.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the dip chilled alongside crackers, chips, or fresh vegetable sticks as a delicious snack or party appetizer.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add hot sauce or diced jalapeño to the dip mixture before chilling.
  • The dip can be prepared a day ahead to deepen the flavors.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for a meatier bite or turkey bacon for a lighter option.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier taste and higher protein.
  • Keep the dip refrigerated and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
