It is October but also time to break out your Crock Pot! This Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip is creamy, cheesy, and full of bacon. Perfect for game day! 

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!
