Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 Cooling rack
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 silicone spatula
  • 1 serving bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
  • 3/4 cup real mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon ranch dip mix
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped for garnish (or substitute chopped parsley or chives)

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the chopped bacon until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. When cool, crumble finely.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a serving bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream until blended. Add the ranch dressing mix and cayenne pepper, and stir until combined.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon of the crumbled bacon for garnish, and add the rest to the dip mix. Add the cheese and toasted almonds and stir until blended.
  • Top the dip with the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Serve with your favorite dippers, such as chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container or a dish tightly covered with covered with plastic wrap for up to 2 days.
This dip can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time. Reserve 1 tablespoon crumbled bacon in a small covered container or baggie to sprinkle on the dip for garnish right before serving.
If you make it in advance, you can serve the dip straight from the refrigerator, or let it sit at room temperature for an hour or so to let it warm up.
