4-Ingredient Cheese Winston Dip

4-Ingredient Cheese Winston Dip is a warm baked appetizer with a creamy center and bubbling cheese on top. Cream cheese and sour cream make the base smooth, while cheddar and Monterey Jack bring the rich cheese flavor. It takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.

The Four Ingredients

Use softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar, and shredded Monterey Jack. The crackers and colorful garnishes shown in the photos are serving extras; they are not needed to make the four-ingredient dip.

How to Make Cheese Winston Dip

Heat the oven to 375°F. Mix the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of cheddar and ¾ cup of Monterey Jack, then spread the mixture in a small baking dish. Scatter the remaining cheese over the top.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the dip bubbles and the edges turn lightly golden. Let it stand for 2 to 3 minutes before serving so it is easier to scoop.

What to Serve With It

Set out crackers, tortilla chips, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables. The dip tastes best warm, straight from the oven. If you make it ahead, assemble it in the dish and bake when ready to serve.
