Ingredients and Substitutes

This section explains how to choose the best dipping ingredients, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.

• cream cheese – The basic crackle dip recipe uses whipped cream cheese, but you can even use flavored ones. Sour cream and chives or fresh herbs both sound good.
• ranch dressing – I used my favorite Homemade Ranch Dressing Recipe, but if you prefer to use store-bought ranch dressing, you can. Buy a slightly thicker one.You can also use a ranch mix packet for the dressing (or make your own ranch seasoning), if necessary.
• sour cream – Using both sour cream and cream cheese creates a creamy and tangy base for this irresistible ranch dip recipe.You can use this instead mayonnaise If you prefer.
• cheddar cheese – Shredded cheddar cheese works best for this recipe, but you can use any cheese you like.
• bacon chunks – I used Precooked Real Bacon Cubes For convenience, but if you have the time, it works even better if you make your own bacon crumbles.chef bacon in the oven, Bacon in the Air Fryeror use your favorite method until crisp, then crumble before using in a crackle dip recipe.
• green onions – Chop the scallions into small pieces so that one bite is not overwhelmed by the onion. You can substitute chives if you like.
• chili – Chili is an optional homemade crack dipping sauce. I think it’s delicious with a little added, but feel free to omit it, especially if you’re eating it with kids around. You can also use a little of your favorite hot sauce.

Variations: Crispy Chicken Dip or Sausage Crispy Dip!

For a protein-rich dip, add cooked chicken wire Or crumbled sausage cooked before baking. You need about 2 cups of meat.
