  4. Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Add additional cheese on top if desired.

Notes

This dip can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the fridge until ready to bake. You can also freeze it before baking. Add jalapeños or crispy bacon for extra flavor. Use sour cream instead of ranch for a tangy twist.
