I've literally made this dip a million times…and many of the times I've started to make it and then realized I'm missing a key ingredient…like cheese or bacon. Fear not, this recipe can easily be made with substitutions or less than 4 ingredients.
If you don't have cheese, this makes a great bacon ranch dip. If you don't have ranch seasoning, this makes a great bacon cheddar dip. And if you don't have sour cream, I've used a combo of cream cheese and milk when I've been in a pinch.
It doesn't get much easier than this!
