How to Make Crack Dip
Gather all the ingredients to make your crack dip. Preheat the smoker to 350°F. I use a Rec Teq Pellet Smoker and absolutely love it!! You can also use other smokers such as a Traeger smoker grill.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Make sure the cream cheese is softened.
You can pop the unwrapped cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the ranch dressing and work that into the dip mixture until combined.
Toss in the shredded Colby cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, bacon pieces (you can use diced cooked bacon or packaged real bacon bits), diced onion, salt, and pepper.
Stir to combine all the ingredients. Place the dip mixture into a cast iron skillet or a baking dish of your choice. Top with the shredded parmesan cheese.
How to Smoke the Crack Dip
Place the uncovered cast iron pan onto the hot smoker. Cook for 30 minutes and check the dip. Every smoker will have a different cooking time.
After 30 minutes, you want to see the dip bubbling around the edges, the center needs to be warm, and you should see a little golden-brown color around the edges.
Remove from the smoker when fully cooked and serve warm with your favorite side.
What do you serve with crack dip?
- Smoked Baguette or Toasted Bread
- Tortilla Chips
- Ritz crackers
- Dorito Chips
- Soft Pretzel Bits

Can you make crack dip ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this traditional cream cheese dip a few days ahead of time! Mix the dip ingredients together and store sealed in an airtight container.
Or if you like you can smoke the dip recipe, cool down the dip, and store in an airtight container until ready to serve. When ready, warm up and serve with your favorite side.
How can I store leftovers?
I have suggestions for storing it and reheating it afterwards. Place leftover smoked dip in a sealed container and store in the fridge for up to 6 days.
Reheat on the smoker grill in a heat appropriate pan until warm or heat up in the microwave using 30 second intervals making sure to stir between intervals.
