INGREDIENT NOTES:

CREAM CHEESE:

• Cream cheese makes the dip’s creamy, silky foundation. Cream cheese provides the rich taste in the dip. It is easier to blend if it is first soft.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• Cheddar cheese adds some texture and a savory, pungent flavor. We use cheese shreds that melt more evenly. It adds the traditional cheesy flavor to the dip.

SOUR CREAM:

• This sour cream helps to fix the indulgence of bacon & cheese. It gives it a sour taste. The dip doesn’t seem too heavy by doing this.

MAYONNAISE:

• Mayonnaise enhances the smooth smoothness and creamy texture. It includes slight indulgence and it aids in balancing flavors. Use full-fat mayo for optimal keto macros.

HERBS & SPICES:

• Ranch dressing creates its distinctive flavor using herbs and spices. Choose a packet without added sugar or prepare your own mixture. This maintains the dip’s ketogenic and low-carb status.

BACON:

• Bacon gives the dip a smoky flavor, crunch, and saltiness. Crumbles are finest when cooked fresh. Additionally, it enhances the satisfaction of every meal.

GREEN ONIONS:

• A green onion provides the light taste of onions & refreshness. They counterbalance the bacon and dairy’s richness. Additionally, their hue enhances visual appeal.
