A creamy, tangy classic inspired by traditional Wisconsin supper clubs—easy to make, best when chilled, and perfect for serving with crackers, pretzels, or veggies.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, French dressing, and Worcestershire sauce and mix until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Cover bowl and chill for at least 6 hours to let flavors meld together.
Serve with crackers, veggies, or pretzels.
Notes
Soften the cream cheese first: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free spread.
Mix the base until smooth: Fully blend the cream cheese, sour cream, French dressing, and Worcestershire sauce before adding the dry seasonings and cheese for the best texture.
Shred your own cheese if you can: Freshly shredded cheddar melts into the spread more smoothly, but pre-shredded works just fine if that’s what you have.
Chill for best flavor: This spread tastes best after at least 6 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight chilling allows the flavors to fully develop.
Stir before serving: After chilling, give the spread a good stir to refresh the texture and redistribute the flavors.
Let it soften slightly before serving: Set the spread out for 10–15 minutes so it’s easier to scoop and spread.
Adjust thickness if needed: If the spread feels too thick, stir in a tablespoon of sour cream or milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Taste and adjust: After chilling, taste and adjust seasoning if needed—especially the salt, garlic, and onion powder.
