Ingredients You’ll Need for the Viral Pickle Dip
To make this viral sensation, gather the following simple ingredients from the grocery store:
- 1 jar pickles, finely chopped
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
- ¼ cup pickled jalapeño, chopped
- ½ pound thick cut bacon, chopped
- 4 oz cheddar cheese
- 8 oz whipped cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1 ranch seasoning packet
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- Your favorite potato chips (Flamin’ Hot BBQ Ruffles work amazing!)
- 1 tsp bbq rub (garnish)
These ingredients blend together beautifully to create the perfect texture and bold flavor in every bite.
How to Make Viral Pickle Dip
1. Cook Your Bacon for Major Flavor
Start by chopping the thick cut bacon into small pieces. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat until perfectly crispy. This step adds incredible savory flavor and ensures crunchy bacon pieces throughout your dip.
2. Prepare the Crunchy Mix-Ins
Finely chop your pickles so they fold smoothly into the creamy base. Slice your green onions and chop the pickled jalapeños.

Keeping everything in small pieces gives you the best texture and makes every bite perfectly balanced.

3. Build the Creamy Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Whipped cream cheese
- Sour cream
- Mayo
- Ranch seasoning packet
- Hot sauce
This creamy foundation is the star of the show—rich, smooth, and ready for all those flavorful mix-ins.
4. Add the Pickle Goodness
Mix in the crunchy dill pickles, chopped jalapeños, green onions, cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon. Stir until the pickle mixture is completely combined and smooth. You’ll smell that bold pickle aroma right away!

5. Garnish & Serve
Top the dip with a sprinkle of your favorite BBQ rub for extra flavor and color. Serve it cold with crunchy potato chips for dipping. Thick, ridged chips hold up best to the creamy texture.

If you’re not serving it immediately, here’s the viral trick:
Spoon the dip back into the empty pickle jar, seal it, and store it in the fridge. This keeps it fresh and makes it super easy to transport for parties, picnics, or cookouts.
