Y’all, I made the viral Grillo's Pickles Dip, and I love this dip! 😍🥒

Ingredients

• 10 spears Gorilla Pickles Spears (chopped into small pieces)
• 5 stalks Green Onions (chopped)
• 1 whole Jalapeño Pepper (tamed (from jar), finely chopped)
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (shredded, mild or sharp per preference)
• 1 pack Bacon (cooked, crumbled (about 6 slices))
• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened, cut into cubes)
• 8 oz Sour Cream (Daisy brand or any plain sour cream)
• 8 oz Greek Yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 1 packet Ranch Dressing (store‑bought packet (about 2 Tbsp))
• 1 Tbsp Hot Sauce (adjust to heat preference)
• 2 Tbsp Pickle Juice (reserved from the Gorilla pickle jar)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced (from the pickle brine if present))
• 1 tsp Fresh Dill (chopped (from the pickle jar))

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pickles and Veggies

   Chop all Gorilla pickle spears into small pieces, finely chop the green onions, and dice the jarred jalapeño pepper. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

   Time: PT3M

2. Cook the Bacon (if not pre‑cooked)

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel to drain, then crumble into small pieces.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Soften the Cream Cheese

   Place the 8 oz cream cheese in a microwave‑safe bowl and microwave on high for 20‑30 seconds, or until softened enough to stir.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: High heat (microwave)

4. Combine the Base Ingredients

   To the mixing bowl with the chopped pickles and veggies, add the softened cream cheese, 8 oz sour cream, 8 oz Greek yogurt, the ranch dressing packet, and hot sauce. Stir until a smooth, uniform mixture forms.

   Time: PT3M

5. Add Cheese, Bacon, and Herbs

   Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill. Mix just until evenly distributed; avoid over‑mixing to keep the dip airy.

   Time: PT2M

6. Adjust Flavor with Pickle Juice

   Add 2 Tbsp of reserved pickle juice gradually, tasting after each addition, until the dip reaches your desired tanginess.

   Time: PT1M

7. Transfer to Serving Vessel

   Spoon the finished dip back into the original Gorilla pickle jar or a serving bowl. Garnish with a few extra pickle spears or a sprinkle of dill if desired.

   Time: PT1M
