Buffalo Cheese Dip is a wonderfully creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy snack. Grab your favorite dippers and dig in. This dip is a touchdown!
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 and creamy deliciousness and just the right amount of heat.
This recipe was recently updated and improved for ultra creaminess. For a buffalo chicken vibe, feel free to stir in some rotisserie chicken or use chicken nuggets as dippers.
Be sure to try these crowd favorites - caramelized onion dip and bacon horseradish dip.
Ingredients
Just five ingredients are all you need to whip up this party favorite.
