Dip Base
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
Topping
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Mix the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and the sauce has a consistent spicy flavor.
- Add cheddar cheese: Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the dip mixture, reserving the rest for topping.
- Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Serve with topping: Before serving, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top for an appealing look and extra flavor.
- Optional warm serving: For a warm version, transfer the dip to a small oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your desired spice level.
- Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or tortilla chips for dipping.
- For a thicker dip, drain excess liquid from the ranch dressing before mixing.
- This dip can be made a day ahead to enhance the flavors.
