Add 1/2 cup of ranch dressing to the bowl.

Pour in 1/2 cup of Frank's RedHot buffalo sauce.

Add 1 cup of Daiya cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and sprinkle more Daiya cheese on top.

Add some Daiya blue cheese on top, using rinsed and drained white beans as a base if desired.

Cover the dish and place it in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, checking for bubbling cheese.

After 15 minutes, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
