The Scoop

Elite Snacking Energy: The "Destroy the Competition" Game Night Farm Dip.
We all agreed: No more sad bowls of room-temperature salsa and underwhelming potato chips, ok?
This dip is an absolute power move for your next game night. It is a glorious, bubbling mountain of cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning, aggressively loaded with shredded rotisserie chicken, crispy bacon, and a borderline-illegal amount of sharp cheddar. Thanks to a quick microwave shortcut, you can throw it together in minutes and let the oven broil it into golden-brown perfection while you dominate the board game leaderboard.
Hack it:
Make it extra loaded: Add diced jalapeños, green chiles, caramelized onions, or chopped roasted peppers for more flavor and texture.
Switch up the protein: Swap the chicken for shredded turkey, pulled pork, crispy ham, or cooked sausage.
Lighten it up: Use Greek yogurt instead of some or all of the sour cream for a tangy, protein-packed twist.
Leftovers:
Make loaded wraps: Spread leftovers into tortillas with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado for an easy lunch.
Create breakfast quesadillas: Add scrambled eggs and fold into tortillas for a savory morning meal.
Reheat for another snack: Warm gently in the oven or microwave and serve with fresh chips or veggies.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 1 (1-ounce) envelope ranch dressing mix
  • 1 3/4 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup bacon, cooked and chopped, plus more, to taste, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup scallions, sliced, plus more, to taste, for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • tortilla chips, to taste, for serving

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the cream cheese and the ranch dressing mix to a 9-inch square casserole dish.
  • Microwave the cream cheese mixture on high heat, stirring halfway through, until combined and the cream cheese is very soft, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken, the sour cream, 1 cup of the bacon, 1/2 cup of the scallions, the pepper, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle the cream cheese-chicken mixture with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  • Bake the cheese dip until the edges are bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Adjust the oven temperature to broil and cook the cheese dip until the cheese is lightly golden-brown in spots, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the cheese dip with the extra bacon and the extra scallions.
  • Serve the dip immediately with the tortilla chips.
