Boat Dip (Rotel Ranch Dip)

Boat Dip (Rotel Ranch Dip)

Boat Dip is the ultimate no-fuss party dip that’s creamy, cheesy, and bursting with Tex-Mex flavors. Combining zesty Rotel tomatoes, ranch seasoning, and creamy sour cream, it’s a chilled dip that’s perfect for summer BBQs, boat days, poolside snacking, or game day spreads. Best part? It comes together in minutes with just a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 oz) container sour cream

• 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)

• ½ cup cooked bacon bits (optional but delicious)

• 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced (optional for garnish)

• Tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies, for serving

Instructions:

1. Mix it Up:

   • In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream and ranch seasoning until fully combined.

   • Fold in the drained Rotel, shredded cheese, and bacon bits (if using).

2. Chill:

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld (you can also serve it immediately if in a hurry).

3. Serve:

   • Garnish with green onions before serving.

   • Serve cold with tortilla chips, crackers, pretzels, or sliced veggies.

Tips:

• You can swap sour cream for plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

• Spice it up by adding a dash of hot sauce or a diced jalapeño.

• Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
