This Rotel Ranch dip is incredibly easy and packed with a zesty kick. It’s a fantastic choice when you need a flavorful dip in a hurry.
Key Ingredients & Tips

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Serve It Up
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If you like, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or veggie sticks.
