Cheesy Bacon Ranch Pull Aparts

I suppose I am getting to that age where it happens, but it is still mind blowing!  A fellow graduate student became engaged to her now fiance during the holiday break!  So, we did what we do best - throw an engagement party for the happy couple!  Smiles, laughs, and games were bountiful, as was the food! 

Here was my contribution to the delicious spread prepared:

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Pull Aparts
Ingredients and How To for the Bread can be found on Mom's post for No Knead Bread.  Otherwise, the original recipe called for a sour dough bread in a round loaf.

Ingredients for the Rest:
Cheddar cheese, sliced
Bacon bits
1/4 C butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp ranch dressing mix

How To:
1.   Preheat oven to 350.
2.   Slice the bread in two directions (grid like), not cutting totally through the bottom of the bread so it all stays together!
3.   Shove the cheese and bacon bits into the cuts to your hearts desire (I loaded mine)!
4.   Mix the ranch seasoning into the melted butter and drizzle over the top of the loaded bread (I made sure to get as much in the cuts as possible).
5.   Wrap bread in tinfoil and bake for 15 minutes.
6.   Unwrap bread and bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese it melted.
7.   Pull apart and enjoy!
