Spring is not quite here, but this time of year typically brings about some of my favorite things: warm weather, St. Patrick’s Day, planning my garden, thinking about summer, and college basketball. This past weekend we watched a lot of basketball, and there is only more in our near future. A lot more. Even my little ones are in on the action. My oldest was checking out scores of his favorite teams on the computer.
With the weather warming up, and basketball on TV we haven’t been eating a lot at the dining room table. It is a lot of snack like food as we have been running in and out to enjoy both the nice weather and basketball games.
One of our favorite family snacks is Cheez-Its! My kids especially love Cheez-Its. They have been eating them since they were wee ones as they are one of the few snacks that were allergen safe, and were often a nice portable treat. Trying the NEW Cheez-It Grooves and NEW Cheez-It Crunch’d was a no brainer!

| We found Cheez-It Grooves right next to all our old favorites! |
When I was asked by #CollectiveBias to create a recipe with for Cheez-Its Crunch’d and the NEW Cheez-Its Grooves, I was thrilled. I ran to Walmart with my little helpers and came up with the perfect idea for a #BigGameSnack.

| The Cheez-It Crunch’d easy to grab right by some the things I needed for the dip. |

| We couldn’t stop snacking while I made the dip! |
This dip is simple to make and hits some different flavor notes and pairs nicely with the cheese flavor of Cheez-Its. What is more American than bacon, lettuce, tomato, and ranch?
All American Layer Dip
1 8 oz package of cream cheese softened to room temperature
2 cups of sour cream (or 1 16 oz container)
1 ranch seasoning packet
1/2 pound of bacon cooked, cooled and crumbled.
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 cups plum tomatoes seeded and diced
In a mixer with a paddle attachment add sour cream and cream cheese and blend until combined. Then, add ranch packed and mix for about 1 minuted until incorporated.
Next, spread the ranch mixture into the bottom of a large shallow dish.
Put and even layer of bacon on top of the ranch mixture.
Then, add an even layer of lettuce.
Finally, add the layer of tomatoes.
Enjoy with your favorite Cheez-Its.
I personally, liked it with the Cheez-It Cruch’d Cheddar and my hubby enjoyed them with the Cheez-It White Cheddar Grooves.
We all know we have a favorite Cheez-It, with or without dip!
