Check out this wild Crack Dip—folks can't get enough. It's super creamy, totally addictive, and you just need four things. It comes together in no time. No matter if you're dunking chips, crunchy pretzels, or crackers, this is the first bowl emptied at every party I've been to.
What Makes This Dip Awesome

Stuff You'll Need

Pro Tips To Nail It
If you plan ahead, make it the night before—flavors meld and do their thing. Grate your own cheddar if you can—it melts into everything perfectly. Want a little fire? Splash some hot sauce on top and watch it vanish even faster.
Awesome Dipping Friends
Every dipper loves this stuff—try crunchy pretzels, salty chips, or crisp crackers. Mix up your snack table with Taco Dip or classic French Onion Dip too. It's also killer with sliced veggies like carrots and celery sticks.
Staying Tasty
Leftovers? Throw them in a container with a tight lid and store in the fridge. They last four days easy. Give it a stir before you dish it out again, and if you want, sprinkle on some extra toppings to freshen it up.
