This Wisconsin Supper Club Cheese Spread is a nostalgic trip to the Northwoods in a bowl. Unlike a firm cheese ball, this spread is designed to be ultra-creamy, tangy, and “dippable,” just like the ones served in those classic wood-paneled dining rooms. The secret ingredient here is the French dressing—it provides a subtle sweetness and a beautiful apricot hue that balances the sharp cheddar and savory ranch.

 

Wisconsin Supper Club Cheese Spread
Ingredients:
Ingredient Amount
Cheddar cheese, shredded 8 oz
Cream cheese, softened 1 (8 oz) package
Sour cream 1 1/2 cups
French dressing 1/4 cup
Ranch seasoning 1 (1 oz) packet
Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon
Garlic powder 2 teaspoons
Onion powder 1 teaspoon
How To Make Wisconsin Supper Club Cheese Spread:
Step 1: The Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, French dressing, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk or mix until the texture is completely smooth and there are no cream cheese lumps.

 

Step 2: Fold in the Flavor: Add the shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir manually until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the cream.

 

Step 3: The Long Chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, though overnight is highly recommended.

Note: Do not skip this step! The ranch seasoning and onion powder need time to hydrate and bloom, which transforms the spread from “good” to “legendary.”

Step 4: Serve: Give the spread a quick stir before serving. Set it out with a variety of “sturdy” dippers like butter crackers (Ritz), thick pretzels, or crisp celery sticks.
