Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, soften 8 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature or microwave it for 10-15 seconds until pliable.
Add 16 ounces of sour cream to the bowl and mix thoroughly with the cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
Fold in 24 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for topping.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the top to create a golden, bubbly crust as it bakes.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
