In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Boil eggs for 7-10 minutes. Set aside to cool. While eggs are cooling, fry bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until crisp.

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
3/4 cup buttermilk (Chef's Note: If you don't have buttermilk, combine 2 Tbsp. vinegar with 3/4 cup milk in a small mixing bowl. Stir and let rest for 3 minutes. It will create homemade buttermilk.)
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dill
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
