Method

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix until smooth and well blended.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions, reserving a little bacon and green onion for topping if desired.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or shallow dish and smooth the top.
Garnish with the reserved bacon and green onions, then cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

For the best texture, let the cream cheese soften fully before mixing. You can make this dip a few hours ahead of time and keep it chilled until serving.
