Make this easy, no-bake Boat Dip, a viral TikTok favorite perfect for game days, summer gatherings, or any party. This creamy, savory dip comes together fast and always feeds a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies), drained
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, drained Rotel, and taco seasoning. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  2. Fold in the sour cream until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  3. Gently stir in the shredded cheese. Reserve a small amount of cheese for topping, if desired.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve cold with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Drain the Rotel well; excess liquid will make the dip watery.
  • For a thicker dip, you can substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
  • This dip is excellent made ahead of time; prepare it up to 24 hours in advance.
