Buffalo Chicken Dip
Creamy, cheesy and full of flavor — always a crowd favorite, great hot or cold.
Bobbie's tips: use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture; shred your own cheese for smoother melting; for extra flavor, add a dash of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika; let the dip rest for 5–10 minutes after baking to thicken; can be made ahead and refrigerated (up to 2 days) before baking. Slow cooker version: mix all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
