If you like buffalo wings in traditional buffalo wing style, here’s a recipe for you!
My friend, Morgan, had been talking about this dip for quite some time before I actually asked her for the recipe. And when my sister’s family was here over Thanksgiving weekend, I decided to give it a shot. After feeding the kids lunch, Blake and I sat down with Jessica and her husband, Scott, to a big bowl of this dip and a variety of dippers. That’s all I made for our big kids lunch. And we were happy as all get-out. It was every bit as delicious as Morgan had described, and we devoured it in no time.
Do you know about Frank’s RedHot sauce? It’s what gives this dip its buffalo wing sauce flavor. And it is awesome! I’ve always been accustomed to the Tabasco style hot sauce, and truthfully, I’m not the biggest of fans. Then a friend turned me on to Frank’s, and our family has made this our condiment of choice. We dash this bright and flavorful sauce on eggs, frozen pizza, and macaroni and cheese. And it’s fantastic in this Zippy Chicken Mushroom Soup, featured by Kristen of Dine and Dish. (Thanks Kristen – this is now one of my family’s favorite soups!)
This dip could easily be enjoyed any time of year. But what’s stopping you from trying it out this week?! Impress your family and friends at your New Years celebration. You’ll be crowned their 2011 hero.

I LOVE this dip!!! I made it a week ago and fell in love, I swear I could eat a whole bowl and not feel bad.
Hi Angela – I could probably eat a whole bowl, too! I’ve made this several times for different groups of family & friends, and it’s always a hit.
YUM! This has Rose Bowl written all over it (go Badgers, ha!). I love clever recipes. Merry Christmas Brenda!
Definitely a good dish for football!! Hope you had a merry Christmas – Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing you in January.
This is truly delish! I made a variation of it for Christmas Eve appetizers and served it with Chicken in a Biskit crackers and celery! I am anxious to try your version. Love it!
Great idea with Chicken in a Biskit crackers – will have to give that a try! Hope you had a very merry Christmas, and here’s to a happy New Year!
I want some of this!!!!
Just waiting to return your hospitality! You visit = I make Buffalo Chicken Dip.
I am still in the process of pretending there are no calories.
So I will make this and enjoy it this week…… Then once calories count again {aka: next week}, I’ll look forward to making this dip for the SuperBowl! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you and your family a wonderful New Year!!!

Awesome! I need to try it!
If you like buffalo chicken, then yes – you DO need to try this. It’s amazing. And addictive!
I am making this tonight! Can’t wait. I will be posting this as a “copycat feature” on my blog! I will let you know when i post it
I make this without the mozzarella cheese and using ranch dressing and it’s outstanding that way too. I also got real lazy and didn’t want to wait for it to bake so I mixed all the ingrediants together and microwaved the dip. It actually turned out really nice and creamy and you don’t get that too much cream cheese and not enough of the hot sauce issue.
I’ve heard of people using different dressings in this…I’m going to have to try it! Thanks, Carol!
