Crockpot Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip
Today is a day that ends in “Y” so what better way to celebrate this occasion with a super spectacular crockpot dip?
How about a Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip that you can make it the slow cooker without a lot of fuss?
October means cooler weather and tailgating which for me requires a little batch cooking and making multiple recipes at one time.
The only way to keep your oven from freaking out and keeping the kitchen slightly less cluttered is to prepare foods in my slow cooker.

Bacon Chicken Ranch Dip
I hear plenty of people mixing chicken with bacon and a touch of Ranch to make sandwiches, cheese balls, and all sorts of other dishes like a meal skillet. Why not a dip?
The crock pot does all the hard work so all you need to do is throw in your ingredients. I use chicken sausage for this recipe because it is already cooked through.
Raw or under-cooked chicken scares me so even though we are cooking it I am sure it is done.
The other benefit is that the chicken sausage comes flavored too. I was lucky enough to find a Chipotle and Monterey jack cheese flavored one. Even more flavor bonus.
While the chicken sausage, cream cheese, Ranch, and additional cheese is cooking I cook up my bacon. I originally wanted to add it into the dip while it cooks in the crockpot but I am not a fan of soggy bacon.
The best thing is to crisp it separately and then add it to the top of the cheese layer. This keeps is crispy and tasty!

Chicken Dip
The pictures show this chicken bacon ranch dip in a baking dish. I prepared it in a crock pot minus the cheese blanket and then chilled it down.
When I was ready to serve it I added the cheese to the top, popped it in the oven for 15 minutes, and then added the bacon. I was using my crockpot for another upcoming recipe at the time so I used the oven.
This way if you have only one crock pot and two recipes to make, improvise!

Meaning brand…
What is the best chicken sausage to use for this dish….so many to choice from.
I use the al fresco brand but feel free to use what you can find. I shop at Publix and they have a store brand that is just as good.
Question! Before you put the chicken sausage in the crockpot should I take it out of the casing so that it’s more of a crumbled sausage? Thank you!
I did not. I just cut it into bite-sized pieces and added it to the mixture. Thanks!
This is AMAZING I made it for my family and the loved it
