1½poundssmoked baconcooked and crumbled (reserve ½ cup for topping)
2cupsshredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese
¾cupdiced Roma tomatoestopping
1½cupsshredded lettucetopping
Instructions
Using either a stand mixer or a medium-size mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise for 1½ to 2 minutes until smooth.
Add in the ranch dressing mix, Dijon mustard, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the crumbled cooked bacon and shredded cheese.
Spread the mixture into a shallow serving dish.
Sprinkle the diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and the ½ cup of reserved cooked crumbled bacon over the top of the dip.
Notes
Roma tomatoes are less juicy, and therefore your dip won’t become too soggy.
This dip can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge to allow all the flavors to mingle. We would recommend waiting to add the diced tomatoes and lettuce until right before you are ready to serve, though.
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have any lumps in your cream cheese base.
