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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Assemble:  Spread dip into a wide, shallow serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with the bacon ranch topping over the top.
  5. Garnish & Serve:  Top with a whole pickle spear. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks. Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
