Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 7 slices bacon
  • 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1 ounce envelope ranch dressing mix
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble cooled bacon into a bowl and set aside.
  2. Stir together cream cheese and ranch dressing mix in a bowl until smooth. Spread mixture on the bottom of a pie dish. Evenly spread barbecue sauce on top of cream cheese mixture. Layer bacon, bell pepper, and tomato on top of barbecue sauce and top with Cheddar cheese. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving.

The cream cheese should be softened before mixing with the ranch dressing mix.
Allow the cooked bacon to cool before crumbling it.
Cover and chill the assembled dip for 1 hour before serving.
The recipe is intended for parties, movie nights, and barbecues.
