Packages cream cheese, softened • Shredded cheese of your choice (I used Fiesta blend) • pkgs. Bacon, cooked, drained on paper towels, then chopped/crumbled • large jalapeños, removed seeds, roasted, and diced (roasting is optional, and if you prefer even less heat, substitute in pablano peppers instead) • pkgs. Dry ranch dip/dressing mix • large bags Unsalted sturdy chips for dipping, I typically use thick tortilla chips. (Lightly salted is also ok, but salt isn't needed, the dip will be salty enough on its own.) • Diced green onions for garnish (optional)
