1 package ranch dressing mix

1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake in a preheated oven, until hot and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Crack dip with sausage: You can substitute browned and crumbled sausage for the bacon in the dip if you so desire! This variation has a meatier flavor and less of a crunch.
Other variations: Another twist on this cream cheese dip for crackers involves turning up the heat. Add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder, or a handful of green chilies for crack with a kick!
Bacon selection: Really any brand of American style (cured, smoked, and crunchy!) bacon will do. Check out Bacon Scout’s “Types of Bacon” article for more bacon facts!
Cheese selection: Strongly flavored cheeses are the way to go here. Use an aged sharp cheddar, or experiment with other flavorful options like Monterey Jack and Gouda.
