  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup pepperoncini juice from the jar
  • 6 tbsp butter, cut into chunks

Notes

Don’t skip using pepperoncini juice for the signature tangy flavor. Shred your own cheese for a smoother melt. Resist stirring the mixture early to keep the heat trapped while cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge; they can be frozen for up to 2 months. You can incorporate veggies like diced carrots or spinach for added nutrition.
