Bacon Cheddar BBQ Ranch Dip is a tasty appetizer your guests will love. Pair with your favorite snacks, like chips, crackers, and raw vegetables!
Bacon Cheddar BBQ Ranch Dip is a yummy dip my family loves to make and eat with raw carrots, celery, and the occasional snack cracker. In fact, I just bought a new box of nutty crackers to snack on.
My guys and I have this tradition of making our favorite easy appetizer recipes and snacks at certain times of the year, like New Year's Eve and even for that big game that everyone watches around the beginning of February (the game that shall not be named).
While I'll admit that football is not my family's thing, it certainly is a big deal for a LOT of our friends and extended family. After all, we do happen to live in Razorback country, where you can't help but feel the excitement when football season makes its grand debut.
While we prefer the commercials to the actual game (admit it, there are some pretty great commercials out there), we do love us some Game Day food.
Any kind of dip for crackers, veggies, or tortilla chips rates high on our list of favorite Game Day snacks and appetizers. When it happens to involve bacon, cheddar, BBQ, and Ranch… Well, we've created the perfect snack recipe.
And since it makes a delicious party appetizer, I’m definitely adding this recipe to my list of favorite Christmas recipes.

Kitchen tools you may need to make Bacon Cheddar BBQ Ranch Dip
Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer – A mixer helps to get all the lumps out of the cream cheese and gives a smoother texture to the dip.
Box Grater – I use my grater for so many things, including cheese.
Food Chopper – Super helpful for crumbling the bacon.
Serving Bowl – This will allow you to easier serve the dip with snacks, especially at a party.
