Ranch & Bacon Monkey Bread Recipe

  • I love to entertain, and easy entertaining is my specialty. Being a busy mom of two, I have developed quite a few go-to recipes over the years to ensure that I can entertain with ease. One of my favorite things to make for a party is monkey bread. Whether it’s sweet or savory, monkey bread always puts a smile on people’s faces, and it’s perfect for entertaining because it can be thrown together in minutes. I’m always playing around with different flavor combinations; most recently I used Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix along with some bacon to make what I consider my most delicious combo yet: Savory Bacon Ranch Monkey Bread.

    Bacon + ranch is always a no-fail combo. Add it to this monkey bread and you've got the ultimate easy appetizer.

    Ingredients:

    • Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix: 10 ounces (one 1-ounce packet)
    • bacon: 8 slices, cut into small pieces 
    • unsalted butter: 1 stick, melted and cooled
    • refrigerated large/jumbo size biscuit dough: 2 cans

    Directions:

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-inch springform pan, wrap the outside of the pan in foil, and set it into a rimmed baking sheet. (The foil and the baking sheet will prevent a messy oven.)

    Step 5: Arrange the biscuit pieces in the prepared springform pan in two layers, sprinkling the cooked bacon over each layer. Place springform pan onto a rimmed baking sheet. (This will help catch and drips and also make it easier to remove pan from oven.)
