Preparation
- Start by cooking your bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, transfer it to a paper towel to drain excess grease before crumbling it.
- While the bacon is cooking, take your cream cheese out of the fridge to soften, so it’s easy to mix.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning. Mix well until you have a smooth base.
- Now, fold in the chopped Grillo’s pickles and crumbled bacon. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle in garlic powder and pepper. Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- For best results, let your dip chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh veggies. Enjoy every delicious bite!
