BBQ Bacon Ranch Dip Delight

Begin by placing the bacon strips in a substantial, deep frying pan and heat it over an elevated temperature, flipping the slices periodically, until they achieve a uniform brown color, approximately 10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and lay it out on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess moisture. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into a separate container and reserve it for later use.

Next, combine the cream cheese and ranch seasoning packet in a separate bowl until you achieve a uniform consistency. Spread this mixture evenly across the base of a pie dish, covering its entire surface area. Following that, apply an even layer of barbecue sauce on top of the cream cheese mixture. Layer the prepared ingredients in a specific order: bacon, bell pepper, and tomato on top of the barbecue sauce. Finish by adding a layer of Cheddar cheese to complete the dish. Cover it with a lid and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
