My granddaughter made crack dip for her gender reveal, but she used cream cheese, sausage and rotel in hers. I’m not sure where she got the recipe.
I’m sorry I’m not sure where that came from!
Are the bacon bits in a package the artificial kind? I cant seem to find them.
You should be able to find “real bacon” in a packet. If not, you could always cook real bacon and crumble it.
I am not understanding the name this dish has? What is cracked? No eggs cracked….maybe I am missing something. Please help
Thank you
Joaquín
It’s just a play on words with bacon and ranch ingredients in it.

Crack is addictive….so is this dip!!!
CRACK IS A DRUG THAT IS ADDICTIVE. IT JUST MEANS THAT THIS DIP RECIPE IS ADDICTIVE.
Made this last night to take upstairs to my favorite neighbor in my condo. Three of us demolished the whole thing, then were too full for her dinner!! Too bad, your dip was better anyway, worth it according to friend! Went well with white wine, but would go with ANYTHING!! Thanks, Julie.

Laverne I love all your comments. You always put a smile on my face! Love that you enjoyed it with white wine 🙂 Have a great Thanksgiving!
I make a cream cheese chip dip with philly cream cheese, milk to thin, diced onion, lemon juice a splash, and lowry season salt just a little. it is great, and easy to make john
I love the name by the way but I do have a question. I buy the big bottle of ranch dressing powder mix how much do you suggest I use? Thanks!
About two tablespoons!
DO NOT USE 2 pks of ranch dressing. It’s so salty I’m not sure if I can even serve it. Scrambling to find something to add to cut it. Wish I would have read the comments:(
I’m sorry you had difficulties with this. I’ve made if for years like this and never had a complaint, but different tastebuds find different flavors salty 🙁
This dip is amazing! So easy to make too. I made it the night before a cookout, and everyone was asking for the recipe. Be sure to add the ranch by taste to reduce the saltiness. I only used a little over half the amount.
