Servings 8 servings

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese brick, freshly grated Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded varieties.
8 ounces whipped cream cheese Room temperature helps for easier mixing.
1 ounce ranch dressing seasoning packet Can substitute with homemade ranch mix.
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sour cream
4 pieces green onions, diced Reserve some for garnish.

Grate the 8-ounce block of sharp cheddar.
Soften the whipped cream cheese to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar, whipped cream cheese, ranch seasoning packet, Dijon mustard, and sour cream.
Stir until the mixture is even and creamy. Use a hand mixer if necessary.
Gently fold in the diced green onions.

To serve cold: cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
To serve warm: heat in a small saucepan over low heat until fully melted, or keep warm in a crockpot.
Garnish with reserved green onions right before serving.

Store airtight in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. For freezing, use a freezer-safe container and expect slight texture change.
