Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Base
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese brick, grated
- 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1 ounce ranch dressing seasoning packet
Additional Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 4 green onions, diced
Instructions
- Grate the cheddar cheese: Start by grating your 8-ounce brick of sharp cheddar cheese. Using freshly grated cheese ensures it melts smoothly without becoming grainy, unlike pre-shredded cheese with added fillers.
- Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar, whipped cream cheese, ranch seasoning packet, Dijon mustard, and sour cream. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. For easier mixing, you can use a hand mixer if the cream cheese is too stiff.
- Fold in the green onions: Gently fold in the diced green onions, making sure not to mash them. This will provide a fresh burst of flavor evenly throughout the dip.
- Chill or heat — your choice: If serving cold, allow the dip to chill for at least two hours or overnight to let the flavors meld together perfectly. For a warm dip, heat it gently over low heat in a saucepan until the cheddar fully melts, or place it in a crockpot on low, stirring occasionally to keep it smooth and creamy.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheddar for best melting results and smoother texture.
- Chill the dip overnight to enhance the flavors if serving cold.
- Heat gently to avoid breaking the cheese and keep it creamy.
- A crockpot is ideal for keeping the dip warm during parties.
- Green onions add freshness, but can be substituted with chives for a milder taste.
