Ingredients

1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream

1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage (optional, for extra flavor)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Tortilla chips or veggies (for serving)

Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.

Add the ranch dressing mix to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until it’s fully incorporated.

Drain the canned diced tomatoes and fold them into the mixture along with the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked sausage (if using).

Transfer the dip to a baking dish or serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Just before serving, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.

Serve with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for dipping.
