How to Make High Protein Crack Dip Recipe

“If your kitchen smells like butter and brown sugar, you’re doing it right.”

Now that we’ve drooled over the goodness of this dip, let’s talk about how we’re going to make it! It’s as easy as pie or should I say, a dip? The steps are simple and practically foolproof, leading to a delightful creation that’s perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself). All you need are a handful of ingredients, a mixing bowl, and a bit of time for the flavors to meld together.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To create our delicious High Protein Crack Dip, you will need:

• 2 cups Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt of choice
• 2-2.5 tbsp ranch seasoning (or 1 packet ranch dressing mix)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or dairy-free of choice)
• 1/2 cup crumbled bacon or turkey bacon (5 strips cooked bacon)
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Now, a couple of friendly reminders: If you want to elevate the flavor, don’t skimp on the quality of your yogurt. A thicker Greek yogurt will give you that desired creaminess. And if you have a favorite brand of ranch seasoning, use it. Trust me; it makes a world of difference.

Step-by-Step Directions

Making High Protein Crack Dip is not only easy; it’s a lot of fun. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be scooping and savoring in no time!

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and ranch dressing mix. Stir until well blended.
2. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Gently fold in the chopped green onions, ensuring every bite gets a touch of that fresh flavor.
4. Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps the flavors meld together and intensify.
5. Before serving, top with additional crumbled bacon and green onions for that extra flair.
6. Serve them up with your favorite dippers such as chips, pretzels, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Quick tip: Avoid the temptation to overmix when combining your ingredients. We want tender bites of that delectable bacon and crunchy green onions within the creamy base, not a uniform mush!
