These Southern Cheesy Ranch Squares are the kind of easy appetizer that disappears almost as quickly as it comes out of the oven. Made with just three simple ingredients, they’re warm, cheesy, savory, and have just the right amount of spicy ranch flavor.
Refrigerated flaky biscuit dough creates a soft, fluffy base, while shredded cheddar melts into all the little spaces between the biscuits. Spicy ranch seasoning adds a punch of flavor without requiring a long list of spices or extra ingredients.
They’re perfect for game-day snacking, potlucks, holiday gatherings, casual parties, or anytime you need a quick snack that can feed a crowd. Best of all, there’s no homemade dough involved and very little prep work.
Simply cut the biscuit dough into pieces, layer everything in an 8-inch baking dish, and let the oven do the rest. Once baked, you’ll have golden, bubbly cheese around the edges and tender biscuit pieces throughout.
Why You’ll Love These Spicy Ranch Squares
It’s hard to beat a recipe that only requires three ingredients.
The biscuit dough provides a fluffy, buttery foundation, the cheddar brings plenty of creamy, cheesy richness, and the spicy ranch seasoning ties everything together with a savory kick.
Layering the ingredients helps spread the cheese and seasoning throughout the biscuits, so you get flavorful bites from the top to the bottom.
As everything bakes, the biscuit pieces puff up and join together. Some areas stay soft and fluffy, while the exposed cheese around the edges becomes beautifully browned and crisp.
Ingredients
You only need three ingredients:
- Refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
- Spicy ranch seasoning mix
- Shredded cheddar cheese
How to Make Southern 3-Ingredient Spicy Ranch Squares
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish. This will make serving the cheesy squares easier once they’re baked.
Step 2: Cut the Biscuit Dough
Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into small, bite-sized pieces.
Arrange about half of the biscuit pieces across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread them out rather than pressing them tightly together.
Step 3: Add Cheese and Ranch Seasoning
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar over the biscuit pieces. Follow with half of the spicy ranch seasoning.
Try to spread both ingredients as evenly as possible so the flavor reaches throughout the dish.
Step 4: Add the Remaining Ingredients
Place the remaining biscuit pieces over the first layer.
Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cheddar cheese and spicy ranch seasoning over the top.
