Alright so the other day I told you I would give you the recipe for the dip that I made for trivia night. According to Nick this dip has "no name". So I have dubbed it the "no name dip". Original, I know. This dip is super easy and cheap to make. It seriously only contains four ingredients. Four.
- 16 oz sour cream (I know the one in the picture is two 8oz but that's because the store I went to didn't have the 16oz of the kind I like)
- Real bacon bits. Make sure they are real. I used fake ones one time and it was the WORST thing I have ever tasted.
- Shredded cheese. I prefer cheddar jack but I'm sure whatever kind you want to add would work.
- A dry ranch packet. They make different flavored ones but I would go with the original.
Eat with whatever kind of crackers or chips you would like. And try not to eat the entire thing in one sitting. Which I would do if Nick wouldn't make fun of me. Good thing I don't live on my own or I would only eat this dip, ice cream, and cookies. Whatev.
This looks SO good! I'll definitely have to try it out! :) Thanks for sharing.

I’m wondering if you could use plain yogurt in lieu of sour cream.
DeleteYes, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
DeleteThank you for sharing! Easy and amazing. Just the way I like it!!!
DeleteThis is also called Crack Dip aka Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip. I have been making this for years and it’s a huge hit. Very tasty and is a hit at parties.
DeleteYou could blend some cottage cheese and make this dip higher protein!
Deleteit was fine until you said it look like vomit and I kind of not interested. No more
DeleteHi. I remember having something similar to this when I was a youngster but they used imitation crab in it.
DeleteLooks great, I wonder if shredded chicken would be good in it?
DeleteWonder if it would be good on meats or chicken as like a sauce
DeleteAdd chicken to it. Delicious
ReplyDeleteOh my thats a game changer. 😁
DeleteJust looking at the pic I guessed it had tuna in it just looked that consistency
DeleteLooks good I will have to make it thank you
DeleteI was thinking that to. Although it is good just like this.
DeleteLooks so good!Can't wait to try!!
DeleteI am going to try this at our next Ladies meeting at church
DeleteWhat about adding small cherry tomatoes and Heating it up in the oven? Make it a hot dip.
DeleteThis is such a yummy dip and so easy to make !!
ReplyDeleteIt’s very good and simple and fast to make.!!!
DeleteHow much cheese? Bacon bits?
ReplyDeletelooks like the whole package of each
DeletePicture looks like a 16 oz. Package of shredded cheese.
Deleteas much as you want!
ReplyDeleteWell we've been eating this for years at the office -- we call it 'crack' dip. It's highly addictive. I've also heard baked potato dip - not as enticing though :)
ReplyDeleteBut there is no potatoes in it? lol
DeleteYou can put it ON baked potatoes. Then there will be potato in it.
DeleteI’ve made this, also adding green onions or chives, and then serve it with potato chips … “loaded baked potato dip”
DeleteThe baked "potatoe" part of the recipe comes from the potatoe chips you use for dipping
DeleteSo a friend of mine used to make this all of the time. She called it Flintstone Dip
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me why. She put bits of thin sliced deli ham instead of bacon, but I have made it with both. Also the local grocery store made it in the deli, and sold cartons simply labeled "Bacon Dip"
Glad you posted as I had forgotten about it!!!
That’s what we call it here in Newfoundland… Bacon Dip
DeleteYummy goodness i will try it thanks for sharing
DeleteChicken chives put it in crescent rolls and bake?
DeleteI am going to try green onions with it to see how it tastes.
ReplyDeleteI would add dried chives
DeleteLove the idea of both green onions and the dried chives
DeleteYesss that sounds amazing 🤩
DeleteIve added crean cheese to it as well
DeleteSimiliar to Million Dollar Dip
ReplyDeleteMillion Dollar is addicting! Yummy!!!!!
DeleteMy family calls it loaded potato dip. It's everything they like on a baked potato and works great as a dip for potato chips
ReplyDeleteI make this..so good I add green onions
ReplyDeleteMy friend gave me this recipe several years ago and she called it crack dip.
ReplyDeleteThis is loaded potato dip..I guess it has many names and no name lol
ReplyDeletewould be great for baking chicken then spooning over a baked potato!
DeleteSounds great and simple,,I might add broccoli and shredded chicken some times,,thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteHow much cheese do you add? I tried enlarging your ture, but it doesn't show the weight of the bag.
ReplyDeleteI see a partial 2 in the bottom left corner
Delete2 cups.
DeleteThis dip is known as “Crack” dip because it’s addicting! So it does have a name .
DeleteWe call it crack dip.
DeleteYes I make the same dip too! Easy to make and so addicting!
ReplyDeleteEat with Fritos! Way better than crackers. Love this dip
ReplyDeleteWish I could make the Frito dip Mom used to make, but it calls for a roll of Kraft garlic cheese & they no longer make that cheese 😕 😢
DeleteI made it and added a tsp of horseradish
ReplyDeleteAdd dried minced onion and a couple drops of Worcestershire sauce. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteIs that 2cups of cheese
ReplyDeleteI got this recipe from my SIL years ago and it is so delicious! I actually just made some last week ! It is a win win ! Not sure what she calls it .
ReplyDeleteI’ve been making this dip for years, a true crowd pleaser and so easy! Bacon, cheddar, ranch dip in my house. Make it with cream cheese instead and roll in more bacon bits for a cheese ball!
ReplyDeleteWe also have been making this dip for years. To take the loaded potato dip one step further, we serve it with hot waffle fries.
ReplyDeleteYum!!
DeleteHow about Trivia Night Dip
ReplyDeleteServe it in a bread bowl… wrap in foil and warm just a bit! Use the torn out pieces of bread as a cracker.
ReplyDeleteI grade my own cheese, so how much cheese does it take? Thank you.
ReplyDeletegrate
DeleteSounds yummy. Thank you for sharing the recipe 🥰
DeleteI make this, only I use 8 oz sour cream and 8 oz cream cheese. If I cook bacon for breakfast the day I am making the dip I fry bacon to crumble for the dip instead of using packaged.
ReplyDeleteVery good dip,
I make it this way and add horseradish. Delious
DeleteThis would be sooo delicious over pasta!
ReplyDeleteI make a similar dip only use a can of drain albacore tuna and 4 ounces of cream cheese and 4 ounces of sour cream with cheddar cheese and bacon bits.
ReplyDeleteCould you make this printable?
ReplyDeleteI would never use the word throw up when describing food 🤮🤮
ReplyDeleteFor years my friends and I have called it crack dip. So good’
ReplyDeleteCrackers and chips are the only things mentioned. Wouldn’t this dip go good with raw veggies, and especially to stuff celery?
ReplyDeleteHidden Valley printed this on their packets years ago and called it HVR Bacon and Cheddar Ranch Dip. Original had fake bacon bits and you're right, it's terrible. Think they fixed that quick. It was before 'real' bits were sold...It was 3/4 cup bits and 1 cup shredded cheese. That makes it pretty thick, so I cut back on the cheese..,sometimes 😍 no name or Crack Dip fits much better. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi there, im from the UK, please tell me what a dry ranch packet is! We dont have this in the uk, ha!
ReplyDeleteRegards
Kim
It is a packet with herbs and seasonings used primarily to make salad dressing when mixed with milk and mayonnaise. Can have many uses to flavor meats, soups etc. Sold under brand name hidden valley.
DeleteIt's a mix for making ranch salad dressing - a hideous concoction that many people in the United States seem to love. Personally, I hate it. But any powdered salad dressing mix you might have in the UK would work.
DeleteIt is a kind of “salad dressing” packet of dry ingredients.
DeleteAmounts of ingredients ???!!
ReplyDeleteJust use the entire contents of each package as shown in the picture- that's what makes it so easy!
DeleteThe first time I tried this dip was at my daughter in law and my son. I knew I was going to make it for us at a gathering. The best "stuff" I have ever made, if you can afford the calories dig in.
ReplyDeleteI added crab to it. So yummy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful topping for baked potatoes.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering…has anyone tried it with the cheese on top and heated up in oven?
ReplyDeleteI have been making this since 2007 and we call it loaded potatoe dip. Like everything you’d put on a baked potato
ReplyDeleteAdd a block of cream cheese 🙂. Yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI add black beans to the no name.. love this dip. Made slot for holiday parties
ReplyDeleteThis recipe came from a grocery store in Greenville Ohio years ago. The original way to eat this dip is with frito scoops. It was call Bacon Ranch dip.
ReplyDeleteTry the fiesta ranch great flavor and I used the Frito scoop chips
ReplyDeleteI make a similar dip that my neighbor gave me that calls for chopped tomatoes . She called it BLT dip even though there is no lettuce in it. 😀
ReplyDeleteWhy did you not give the amount for the ingredients? You only listed sour cream🤔
ReplyDelete"Amounts" aren't needed- you just use the contents of each package shown...
DeleteAnd if we can’t access the exact packages? Lol. An amount is needed.
DeleteThis may be good, but I would never call it cheap! At today's prices, would cost me at least $ $7, which is not cheap in my book.
ReplyDeleteFor those asking for the recipe, here's a link for the original recipe from HVR:
https://www.hiddenvalley.com/recipe/hidden-valley-bacon-cheddar-dip/
Just wondering if I could heat this dip up in the oven?
ReplyDeleteSome finely chopped garlic would be yummy and perhaps a dash of Worcestershire.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Ranch salad dressing's ingredients so i can see if i can fund something similar in South Africa? Would really live to try this dip out
ReplyDeletePowdered Buttermilk, garlic, onion, and other spices that they don't tell you what they are.
DeleteHow much shredded cheese?
ReplyDelete2 cups
DeleteAdd a can of drained shredded chicken for more flavor and consistency! I’ve made this before with half cream cheese and half sour cream and baked it!! Cracked chicken dip in our house and it is a great Super Bowl dish. I’ve never come home with anything left!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you don’t like the “throw up” look:
ReplyDeleteTry combining the sour cream, ranch & bacon bits first. Move to serving container. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
I used the Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch dip. It was YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteHi 👋 just wondering can this dip be heated up?
ReplyDeleteYou know, to melt the cheese!
We call this cheddar bacon ranch dip
ReplyDeleteWhy would you say "it looks like throw up"?!? It may be great, but after that comment I will probably not make it. I would not be able to get that thought out of my head when I looked at it. I probably would never have thought that if you hadn't said it. You can't un-ring a bell or un-see a thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat were you thinking?
This is called ranch dip. The recipe is on the back of the ranch dip packet box. It’s very good scooped up on cut up bagels.
ReplyDeleteHow much bacon
ReplyDeleteI will try this.
ReplyDeletePerfect go to for Super Bowl. It's delicious. I make a double batch, it disappears fast at parties.
ReplyDeleteIt has a name - Crack Dip. I’ve been making this for years; always a winner
ReplyDeleteYou don’t say how much cheese or bacon bits to use.
ReplyDeleteI have been making this dip for over 10 years
ReplyDeleteI make this a lot! You can add 1 can chunk chicken, 1/4c hot sauce and heat up in microwave for delicious Buffalo Chicken dip! Serve with celery and "voila" it's healthy!
ReplyDeleteJust made this. Can’t wait to try once the ingredients come together!
ReplyDeleteMy bff got this recipe from her nephew’s wife years ago. It didn’t come with a name then either. We decided to call it Skinny Dippin. A little tongue in cheek because there is nothing skinny about it. 😆
ReplyDeleteCheddar bacon ranch dip! Yum
