Pro Tips

For the best flavored dip, make ranch with homemade ranch seasoning.
Make sure you move the curds around enough so that the outsides get browned evenly.
Low heat for the Blackstone should be anywhere from 250°F-350°F. You can use an infrared thermometer to check the temp!
You do not need oil in this recipe because the cheese releases enough oil to prevent sticking. If you use additional oil you will end up with an oily cheese curd.
