- 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions

- Soften the cream cheese by beating it with an electric mixer or whisk for about 2 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
- Add the buffalo hot sauce and ranch seasoning to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined.

- Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Notes
If cream cheese is not soft enough, microwave for 15 seconds before mixing. Use a glass or ceramic dish to avoid soggy bottoms. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control heat. Tent with foil if cheese browns too fast. Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
