Cheese Spread from a Classic Wisconsin Supper Club
Bring a touch of Northwoods charm to your table with this classic Wisconsin Supper Club Cheese Spread!

👩🍳 How to Make Wisconsin Supper Club Cheese Spread
Step 1: Create the base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, French dressing, and Worcestershire sauce. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Tip: Using a hand mixer helps achieve a perfectly silky texture with no lumps.
Step 2: Add the mix-ins
Stir in the shredded cheddar, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder using a spatula until everything is evenly incorporated into the creamy mixture.
Step 3: Chill and develop flavor
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, though overnight is ideal.
Tip: This resting time is important—the seasonings need time to blend and fully absorb into the mixture. Skipping this step can leave the flavor slightly grainy instead of rich and balanced.
