Flavors Used:
This Ranch Fried Dill Pickle Dip is an absolute flavor bomb. We took crispy bacon, dill pickles, Dan-O’s Dips Ranch, and cream cheese, then topped it with a crunchy bacon-ranch crust that’ll have folks fighting over the last scoop. It’s creamy, tangy, crunchy, and perfect for game day, parties, or any Dan-time.
Ingredients
Crunchy Bacon Ranch Topping
- ⅓ packet Dan-O’s Dips Ranch
- 1½ lbs bacon
- 4 oz panko breadcrumbs
Dip Base
- Remaining Dan-O’s Dips Ranch packet
- 1 packet Dan-O’s Dips Dill
- 2 blocks (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 16 oz sour cream
- 1 jar (24 oz) dill pickle spears, diced
- 2–3 tablespoons pickle juice
- Remaining cooked bacon (about ¾ of batch)
Optional Garnish
- Whole dill pickle spear on top
Preparation Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Cut the bacon into small strips. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, stirring occasionally. Transfer bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Keep the bacon drippings in the pan, then carefully blot out about 75% with paper towels, leaving a thin layer of grease to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
- Make the Crunchy Topping: Finely chop about ¼ of the cooked bacon and set aside. Add panko breadcrumbs to the bacon grease. Toast on medium heat, stirring constantly (about 1 minute) until golden. Transfer toasted panko to a bowl immediately. Stir in the finely chopped bacon, ⅓ packet of Dan-O’s Dips Ranch. Mix and set aside. This becomes your crunchy topping.
- Make the Dip Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, diced pickles, pickle juice, and remaining chopped bacon. Sprinkle in the remaining Dan-O’s Dips Ranch and Dan-O’s Dips Dill. Mix thoroughly, pressing out cream cheese lumps until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: Spread dip into a wide, shallow serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with the bacon ranch topping over the top.
- Garnish & Serve: Top with a whole pickle spear. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks. Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
