I had this for the first time when a friend brought this dip to a cookout and we enjoyed it. It is an easy and inexpensive dip that is perfect with vegetables, crackers or chips. We hate olives so I leave those out and add onions instead. I will try adding hot sauce, garlic powder, etc. to kick the flavor up a notch and maybe even heat it up so the cheese is melted. I think it would be even better that way! Note: She used the whole package of ranch seasoning and I do too. This might be helpful to those who complained of the dip becoming too runny. I wouldn't drain the Rotel tomatoes because you lose so much flavor that way!

When I made this dip, I used Fiesta Ranch dry mix instead of regular, and it was FANTASTICO! :)

Took this to work and everyone liked it... I added some chopped green onion to the top.. I had a 14.5oz can diced tomatoes that I partially drained, next time I will drain all the way this was a little runny. To thicken it up I added a little more cheese.

I have made this a couple of times. The first time everyone liked it but it was a little runny. The 2nd time I made it, I made a couple of changes. Instead of the tomatoes with green chilis, I used fresh salsa because I had the salsa and not the tomatoes. I also drained the salsa to solve the problem of being too runny. I had fresh cilantro, so I chopped that and added it. I felt that the flavor and consitancy were both improved. I will definitely make this again.

For more flavor and better consistency, I have changed this over the years. I now use 16 ounce sour cream and 8 ounces of cream cheese. That will help with the runny consistency. Also, use taco flavored cheese and I add chopped green onions. I always have a lot of flavor in mine. If you want even more kick, use the fiesta flavored ranch dressing. That really spices it up.

I read the variations before making this and used what I had around the house. This dip tastes much better than it looks. I used 8oz neufchatel cheese, 8oz light sour cream, 1 cup white English cheddar finely shredded, 1 can rotel, 1/2 - 3/4 packet of Uncle Dan's ranch dressing dry mix, green onions and fresh garlic to taste. This was a very easy recipe and quite the crowd pleaser. Can be made with many variations to your liking.

5 Stars!! I did not have olives or ranch dip mix on hand; I used 8 ounces cream cheese, 8 ounces sour cream, a can of Rotel, 8 ounces shredded colby/jack cheese and a package of french onion dip mix. This was awesome, super easy and a hit at our party!
