# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch powder until smooth. Make sure it’s all combined well.
02 -
Toss in the Rotel tomatoes, cheddar cheese, green onions, and jalapeños (if you’re using them). Stir everything until it’s all mixed evenly.
03 -
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for a half-hour or more. This helps the flavors really come together.
04 -
Before digging in, give the dip another quick stir. Scoop it into a serving dish, sprinkle on the cilantro if you’re using it, and surround it with your dippers of choice like chips, crackers, or veggies.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make it the day before—up to 24 hours ahead—and just chill it in the fridge.
02 -
Want it hotter? Use Hot Rotel or more jalapeños.
03 -
For easy mixing, let the cream cheese sit out till it’s softened.
