Spicy Ranch boosts the flavor of anything you would serve with ranch.

Our house loves anything spicy. We are obsessed with the ranch at Outback Steakhouse. That led me on a journey to find the perfect spicy ranch.

Bottled ranch at the store is great for convenience but making your own (even though I use a packet of seasoning mix for the base) just tastes better.

Spicy Ranch Ingredients

Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Packet

Mayonnaise

Milk

Garlic Powder

Cayenne

Onion Powder

Paprika

Pepper

Ranch dressing mixture in bowl with spices

To make it, throw everything into a bowl and whisk it together. The hardest part is sitting and waiting while the mix marinates in the fridge.

We love to put this spicy ranch on burgers, veggies, salads, french fries, chicken, and more.

This recipe makes 2 cups so plenty to have more than one time.

If you are looking for a more mayonnaise and ketchup dip, we also love jalapeno fry sauce. It is also great for french fries, burgers, sandwiches, and more. Another favorite dip for veggies and roasted potatoes is this green goddess dip. It is like the dip you find at Melting Pot restaurant.

What is your favorite dip or dressing for french fries and sandwiches?
