Ingredients

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese brick, grated
8 ounces whipped cream cheese
1 ounce ranch dressing seasoning packet
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sour cream
4 green onions, diced

Instructions

Step 1: Grate the sharp cheddar cheese. Freshly grated cheddar melts better than pre-shredded, so take the extra time for a smooth dip.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar, whipped cream cheese, ranch seasoning, Dijon mustard, and sour cream. Stir until the mixture is well blended. A hand mixer can help if the cream cheese is difficult to mix.
Step 3: Gently fold in the diced green onions without mashing them to distribute evenly throughout the dip.
Step 4: Choose your serving style: chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least two hours (or overnight) to let flavors meld, or warm it gently on low heat in a saucepan until the cheddar fully melts. A crockpot on low with occasional stirring also works well for warm serving.

Tips & Variations

Use freshly grated cheddar for a smoother, creamier dip—pre-shredded cheese can make the dip grainy.
Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a little extra kick.
Swap green onions with chives or finely diced red onion for a different flavor profile.
Serve with soft pretzels, crunchy pretzel sticks, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on low heat to avoid separating, stirring occasionally to maintain a creamy texture. If chilled, let the dip sit out for a few minutes to soften before serving.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Base

8 ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese Brick, grated
8 ounces Whipped Cream Cheese

Seasonings & Mix-ins

1 ounce Ranch Dressing Seasoning Packet
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp Sour Cream
4 Green Onions, diced

Instructions

Grate the cheddar cheese: Start by grating your 8-ounce brick of sharp cheddar cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts better and results in a smoother dip compared to pre-shredded options, which often contain fillers.
Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated sharp cheddar, whipped cream cheese, ranch seasoning packet, Dijon mustard, and sour cream. Stir the ingredients together until fully combined. For easier mixing, especially if the cream cheese is firm, use a hand mixer for a smooth consistency.
Fold in the green onions: Gently fold in the diced green onions with a spatula or spoon to evenly distribute them without mashing, keeping their fresh texture intact.
Chill or heat the dip: Decide how you’d like to serve the dip. For a cold dip, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld. For a warm dip, transfer to a small saucepan and heat on low until the cheddar melts fully, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, use a crockpot on low heat to warm throughout a party, stirring to keep it creamy and smooth.

Notes

Use freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese for best melting and texture.
Chilling the dip overnight intensifies the flavors.
If warming the dip, stir frequently to avoid burning or sticking.
Serve with soft pretzels, pretzel chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving warm again.
