5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!
This Cheesy Bacon Ranch Bread is most definitely on the menu for tomorrow…Chris and I are feeling just fine, thank you very much 🙂 It’s a favorite with my family and it’s so versatile that we make it all year long.
On brisk fall days and in the cold of winter, this bread gets popped in the oven and we enjoy it with Lazy Day Lasagna or with a batch of spaghetti made with my Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce.
In the summer, we throw this bread on the grill right along side some Chipotle Honey BBQ Chicken, Beef Brisket with Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce, or some crazy delicious chicken made up with the BEST Chicken Marinade.
Or maybe we just eat it for lunch and call it good 🙂
I typically use a loaf of French bread because it’s so perfectly soft and fluffy, but a loaf of sourdough or your favorite type of bread can be used instead. There’s a secret ingredient in this recipe that is critical to the outcome….mayonnaise!
Have you ever made grilled cheese sandwiches where instead of buttering the bread before grilling it you simply swap in mayonnaise instead? This is a lot like that…but then you add ranch…and bacon…yeah, it’s better.
I bake my bacon in advance and it’s perfect every time!
Make up a batch of this super cheesy and delicious bread for your next dinner party!
