- 2 8 oz blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- ½ cup hot sauce like Frank’s RedHot
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper optional, for extra heat
- 1 sleeve about 30 saltine crackers, crushed
- ¼ cup chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Beat softened cream cheese and sour cream in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes using a hand mixer).
Mix in ranch seasoning, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne (optional) until fully blended and pale orange.
Stir in shredded cheddar, then gently fold in crushed saltines—reserving some for topping if desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl, top with reserved crackers and chopped green onions or parsley. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
