Buffalo Dip Without Chicken
A party isn't a party without a scrumptious dip, and this buffalo cheese dip fits the bill perfectly. It's loaded with plenty of cheese, creamy deliciousness, and just the right amount of heat.
This recipe was recently updated and improved for ultra creaminess. For a buffalo chicken vibe, stir in some rotisserie chicken or use chicken nuggets as dippers.
Be sure to try these crowd favorites - sour cream and onion dip and bacon horseradish dip.
Ingredients
Just five ingredients are all you need to whip up this party favorite.
- Cream cheese and sour cream are used in tandem to provide the ultimate creamy consistency.
- Monterey Jack cheese is a wonderful melting cheese. For extra spicy flavor, use Pepper Jack instead.
- Buffalo wing sauce - Choose your favorite bottled variety, whether regular or hot, to suit your spice level.
- Blue cheese dressing: My steakhouse blue cheese dressing is delicious here, but store-bought dressing can also be used.
Expert Tips
- Use room-temperature cream cheese. Soft cream cheese blends more easily with the other ingredients.
- Make ahead to save time. Mix the ingredients, cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, bake, and enjoy.
- For a heartier appetizer, serve with chicken nuggets or waffle fries as dippers.
