Rotel Ranch Dip (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Layer

01 - 8 oz of room temperature cream cheese
02 - 1 cup of sour cream
03 - A standard-size can (10 oz) of Rotel tomatoes, drained
04 - 1 packet of ranch dry mix

→ Extras

05 - ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar
07 - ¼ cup jalapeños, diced small (use for a little heat, if you like)

→ Side Options

08 - Tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or crackers to enjoy with
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional topping)

# Instructions:

01 - Take a big bowl, toss in the cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch packet. Stir everything together until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
02 - Add in cheddar cheese, green onions, jalapeños (if you're using them), and Rotel tomatoes. Mix until all the ingredients are spread out evenly.
03 - Cover it up with plastic wrap. Chill the mix for a minimum of 30 minutes so all the flavors can meld.
04 - Once chilled, stir the dip once more. Move it to a serving dish, add cilantro on top if you'd like, and grab your dippers to enjoy.

# Notes:

01 - You can prep this dip ahead—it'll stay good in the fridge for up to a full day.
02 - Want a kick? Switch to Hot Rotel tomatoes or add extra jalapeños.
03 - Soften your cream cheese ahead of time to make mixing simple and smooth.
