Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 oz packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 10 oz can Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies well-drained
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Hand mixer Optional, can mix by hand

Instructions
 

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream and dry ranch seasoning, mixing until fully combined.
  2. Add the well-drained Rotel and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Fold everything together with a spatula until just combined.
  3. For best results, cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir again before serving with your favorite chips, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

Tip 1: Make sure to drain the Rotel very well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
Tip 2: For the creamiest texture, use full-fat block cream cheese and sour cream.
Tip 3: Shredding your own cheese from a block results in a smoother dip.
