Ingredients: 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened; 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream; 1 (2.5-ounce) package bacon recipe pieces (or 3/4 cup fully cooked chopped bacon); 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided (reserve 1/4 cup for topping); 3 green onions, sliced, divided (reserve tops of 1 green onion for topping); 1/4 cup prepared ranch dressing; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper; 1/8 teaspoon paprika

The ultimate appetizer for loaded baked potato lovers is this hearty and flavor-packed Loaded Baked Potato Dip!

Did I mention how EASY this is to make?! Just 10 minutes prep time is all that’s required. It’s the perfect appetizer dip for Superbowl Sunday (or any gathering!).

If you’re not a fan of green onions you can most definitely substitute fresh chives for them in this recipe.

What to serve with loaded baked potato dip:

Potato chips
Potato wedges / french fries
Crackers
Celery
Carrots
Broccoli

To make this dip lower fat, use:

Low fat cream cheese
Low fat cheddar cheese
Low fat sour cream
Turkey bacon instead of regular bacon

I always use freshly cracked black pepper in this dip, but I don’t add salt because it tastes plenty salty enough with the cheeses, ranch dressing and bacon. Add salt (if desired) to what suits your taste buds!

Enjoy!
