Step 2: Mix the Cream Cheese and Sour Cream

In a medium-sized bowl:

• Add the softened cream cheese.
• Spoon in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt).

Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend until everything becomes smooth and creamy. This step builds the base of your dip.

Step 3: Add the Ranch Seasoning

Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix into the creamy base.

Stir or beat again until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. You’ll immediately notice the aroma—herbal, savory, and delicious.

Step 4: Fold in the Cheddar Cheese

Now add your shredded cheddar cheese.

Use a spatula to fold it in gently. This gives the dip its signature cheesy body and helps it thicken.

You can use:

• Mild cheddar for a softer, creamy flavor
• Sharp cheddar for a deeper and bolder taste
• A blend of cheeses for extra richness

Step 5: Chill the Dip (Optional but Recommended)

While you can enjoy it immediately, chilling the dip for 30 minutes to 1 hour allows the flavors to fully develop and the texture to firm up.

If you’re serving at a party, prepare it ahead to save time later.
