→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 block of cream cheese, softened
02 -
1 packet of ranch seasoning
03 -
1 can of Rotel Tomatoes, drained
04 -
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
05 -
1 cup of sour cream
→ Optional Add-ins
06 -
2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro
07 -
2 tablespoons of diced jalapeños
08 -
2 tablespoons of sliced green onions
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by getting everything ready. Let the cream cheese sit out so it softens. Drain the Rotel Tomatoes to get rid of the liquid. Chop up the cilantro, jalapeños, and green onions if you're using them.
02 -
In a big bowl, throw in the sour cream, ranch seasoning, and the cream cheese. Mix them together until it's super smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or a spatula for this step.
03 -
Into the creamy base, add the drained Rotel Tomatoes, cheddar cheese, green onions, and jalapeños. Stir until everything's evenly combined and it looks bright and colorful.
04 -
Cover up the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge for at least a half hour. This gives the flavors time to really come together. You can even make it the day before—just give it a stir before serving.
05 -
Scoop the dip into a serving bowl. You can sprinkle a little extra green onion or cilantro on top if you like. Serve it with chips, crackers, or veggies and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the cream cheese is softened so everything blends well and stays smooth.
02 -
Don't forget to fully drain the Rotel Tomatoes! It'll keep your dip from being too moist.
03 -
Letting the dip chill helps the flavors really pop and combine.
