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.
