Creamy Ranch Fiesta Dip.

One of my favourite things to make for any party, but especially game-day parties, is a good dip. From Easy Pepperoni Pizza Dip to Everything Bagel Cottage Cheese Dip, they're honestly one of my very favourite foods to make and to eat.

And there's a reason I never throw a party without one on the table. Dips are almost always made ahead, which means less stress on party day and, in the case of this one, even better flavour.

Fiesta Ranch Dip is exactly what it sounds like: your favourite ranch seasoning, taken up a notch with Rotel (that brilliant combination of diced tomatoes and green chiles), bringing the zing.

Sweet corn adds texture. Cheddar gives it that rich, melty creaminess. And my version also includes bacon bits, because I absolutely love the smokiness they bring to every single bite.

The result is a dip that is creamy, zesty, and incredibly dippable. It works as an appetiser at any gathering, holiday party, game-day watch party, backyard BBQ and it never, ever lasts long.

Ingredients

• 16 oz sour cream

• 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix

• 1 (15.25 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained

• 1 (15.25 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 (10 oz) can Rotel, drained

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup cooked bacon pieces or bacon bits

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream and ranch seasoning mix.

2. Add corn, black beans, Rotel, cheddar cheese, and bacon.

3. Stir until everything is well mixed.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Chill until ready to serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.

Optional: Top with some more cheese and bacon bits before serving.

Tips.

• Want to mix it up? Swap the cheddar for pepper jack if you want more heat, or add a diced jalapeño for an extra kick.

• Going vegetarian? Skip the bacon and add a pinch of smoked paprika instead; it keeps that smoky depth.

• For a lighter version, use full-fat Greek yoghurt in place of sour cream. It's just as creamy and adds a gentle tang that pairs brilliantly with the ranch.
