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.

Add chicken to it. Delicious
This is such a yummy dip and so easy to make !!
How much cheese? Bacon bits?
as much as you want!
Well 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 :)
Oh my thats a game changer. 😁
So a friend of mine used to make this all of the time. She called it Flintstone Dip
Don'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!!!
I am going to try green onions with it to see how it tastes.
Similiar to Million Dollar Dip
Million Dollar is addicting! Yummy!!!!!
My family calls it loaded potato dip. It's everything they like on a baked potato and works great as a dip for potato chips
Just looking at the pic I guessed it had tuna in it just looked that consistency
I make this..so good I add green onions
My friend gave me this recipe several years ago and she called it crack dip.
This is loaded potato dip..I guess it has many names and no name lol
looks like the whole package of each
would be great for baking chicken then spooning over a baked potato!
Sounds great and simple,,I might add broccoli and shredded chicken some times,,thank you for sharing
I would add dried chives
I’m wondering if you could use plain yogurt in lieu of sour cream.
How much cheese do you add? I tried enlarging your ture, but it doesn't show the weight of the bag.
Yes I make the same dip too! Easy to make and so addicting!
Eat with Fritos! Way better than crackers. Love this dip
Love the idea of both green onions and the dried chives
I see a partial 2 in the bottom left corner
Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
I made it and added a tsp of horseradish
Add dried minced onion and a couple drops of Worcestershire sauce. Delicious!
Is that 2cups of cheese
I 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 .
I’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!
We also have been making this dip for years. To take the loaded potato dip one step further, we serve it with hot waffle fries.
Picture looks like a 16 oz. Package of shredded cheese.
How about Trivia Night Dip
Serve it in a bread bowl… wrap in foil and warm just a bit! Use the torn out pieces of bread as a cracker.
I grade my own cheese, so how much cheese does it take? Thank you.
I 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.
Very good dip,
This would be sooo delicious over pasta!
I 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.
Could you make this printable?
I would never use the word throw up when describing food 🤮🤮
Looks good I will have to make it thank you
For years my friends and I have called it crack dip. So good’
Crackers and chips are the only things mentioned. Wouldn’t this dip go good with raw veggies, and especially to stuff celery?
Hidden 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!
Hi there, im from the UK, please tell me what a dry ranch packet is! We dont have this in the uk, ha!
Regards
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.
Amounts of ingredients ???!!
The 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.
I added crab to it. So yummy!
Sounds like a wonderful topping for baked potatoes.
Yesss that sounds amazing 🤩
Just wondering…has anyone tried it with the cheese on top and heated up in oven?
It’s very good and simple and fast to make.!!!
But there is no potatoes in it? lol
2 cups.
I have been making this since 2007 and we call it loaded potatoe dip. Like everything you’d put on a baked potato
You can put it ON baked potatoes. Then there will be potato in it.
It'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.
Add a block of cream cheese 🙂. Yummy!!
I add black beans to the no name.. love this dip. Made slot for holiday parties
This 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.
Try the fiesta ranch great flavor and I used the Frito scoop chips
I 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. 😀
Why did you not give the amount for the ingredients? You only listed sour cream🤔
This 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.
For those asking for the recipe, here's a link for the original recipe from HVR:

Just wondering if I could heat this dip up in the oven?
This dip is known as “Crack” dip because it’s addicting! So it does have a name .
I’ve made this, also adding green onions or chives, and then serve it with potato chips … “loaded baked potato dip”
Some finely chopped garlic would be yummy and perhaps a dash of Worcestershire.
Thank you for sharing! Easy and amazing. Just the way I like it!!!
That’s what we call it here in Newfoundland… Bacon Dip
I was thinking that to. Although it is good just like this.
Just use the entire contents of each package as shown in the picture- that's what makes it so easy!
"Amounts" aren't needed- you just use the contents of each package shown...
We call it crack dip.
This 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.
The baked "potatoe" part of the recipe comes from the potatoe chips you use for dipping
Ive added crean cheese to it as well
Yummy goodness i will try it thanks for sharing
grate
Looks so good!Can't wait to try!!
What 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
How much shredded cheese?
Add 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!!!
Powdered Buttermilk, garlic, onion, and other spices that they don't tell you what they are.
And if we can’t access the exact packages? Lol. An amount is needed.
If you don’t like the “throw up” look:
Try 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!
Hi 👋 just wondering can this dip be heated up?
You know, to melt the cheese!
We call this cheddar bacon ranch dip
Why 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.
What 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.
How much bacon
Sounds yummy. Thank you for sharing the recipe 🥰
I will try this.
Chicken chives put it in crescent rolls and bake?
You could blend some cottage cheese and make this dip higher protein!
It is a kind of “salad dressing” packet of dry ingredients.
Perfect go to for Super Bowl. It's delicious. I make a double batch, it disappears fast at parties.
it was fine until you said it look like vomit and I kind of not interested. No more
It has a name - Crack Dip. I’ve been making this for years; always a winner
2 cups
Hi. I remember having something similar to this when I was a youngster but they used imitation crab in it.
You don’t say how much cheese or bacon bits to use.
Yum!!
Looks great, I wonder if shredded chicken would be good in it?
I have been making this dip for over 10 years
I 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!
I am going to try this at our next Ladies meeting at church
Just made this. Can’t wait to try once the ingredients come together!
Wonder if it would be good on meats or chicken as like a sauce
