Easy 3-Ingredient Cheddar Ranch Crack Dip (Print version)

A creamy no-cook cheddar ranch dip made with sour cream, ranch seasoning, and shredded cheddar.

# Ingredients:

For the dip

01 - 16 oz (455 g) sour cream

# Instructions:

03 - Add the shredded cheddar and fold until the cheese is evenly distributed through the dip.
04 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, so the ranch flavor hydrates and deepens.

# Good to know:

01 - Chilling time is important for the best flavor.
02 - Use sharp cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor.
