For a milder dip, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. For a richer flavor, use a combination of sharp and extra-sharp cheddar cheese. If you don't have ranch dressing mix, you can substitute with a homemade blend of dried herbs and spices, including dill, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make ahead: This dip can be made up to 4 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Be sure to stir before serving. Try serving this dip with fresh vegetables like celery sticks and carrot sticks for a healthier option. Consider adding a dash of hot sauce for an even bigger kick!
