Bacon Ranch Dip
I could pretty much live on appetizers for meals, and this one makes many appearances on our snack table during family gatherings.
Not only is it super popular, and always one of the first things to disappear from the table – it is also really, really easy.

Where can you get good Ranch powder?
I always buy my ranch dressing mix in bulk because that stuff is good in a LOT of things. My 20 Minute Taco Soup is one of them. Ranch dressing mix does amazing things when combined with those other ingredients. I can’t explain it, it just is.
You can also add it to something like this Loaded Baked Potato Salad and watch amazing things happen.
Ranch Dressing Mix = magic. Always.
