Pre-Prepared Cheesy Bacon Ranch Dip

This easy cheesy bacon ranch dip is one of our favorite things to serve for parties, because it actually tastes better the next day, or after a few hours to come together in the refrigerator.

This is the solid dip to make the night before tailgating or throwing a big party – mix the day before, cover tightly with plastic wrap (or a glass leftovers container with a tight, air and smell proof lid), and remove when ready to serve!

To make this cheesy ranch dip before a party, make it at maximum 24 hours before, and store in the refrigerator.

How to Keep Dip Fresh

Since this dip is based off sour cream, care needs to be taken to keep it at a safe serving temperature.

When throwing a big party, we try to serve dips in a small bowl nestled into a bigger bowl with ice in it to keep the dip cold. We'll check on it throughout the day, making sure we mix it up so the dip stays an even, properly chilled temperature.

Don't leave this dip out on the counter long enough to become warm – it should be kept cool to the touch and covered when not eating.

Leftover dip should be immediately re-wrapped in plastic wrap and sent to the refrigerator to cool. Store leftovers for up to four days in the refrigerator, or two months in the freezer.

For single-serve portions of dip, we like to use large ice cube containers (the fancy large sphere or square kind) to portion out dip, and then we'll individually wrap each one in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer. To thaw, pull one portion from the freezer and let thaw naturally in the refrigerator overnight. Eat immediately.
