Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spatula
- Airtight container (for chilling/storage)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked, crumbled bacon (or turkey bacon)
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Prepare Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) with ranch seasoning until smooth.
- Add Cheese: Fold in shredded cheddar until evenly combined.
- Add Bacon & Onions: Stir in crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve: Garnish with extra bacon or green onions. Serve with chips, crackers, or veggie sticks.
Notes
- Use full-fat cheddar for best flavor.
- Chill before serving—this enhances taste and texture.
- Taste before adding extra salt; bacon and cheese are already salty.
- Works great as a sandwich spread or baked potato topping.
- Store in fridge for 3–4 days; avoid freezing (texture changes).
