There are some foods I can’t stop eating.  Chicken dip is one of them.

We all know and love Buffalo Chicken Dip.  I don’t have my recipe for Buffalo Chicken Dip on MT yet, however I do have a version for Buffalo Cauliflower Dip that you can’t even tell it’s cauliflower. It’s really good!

Every Sunday while watching football I like to whip up some fun eats for everyone to munch on.  This BBQ Chicken Dip has been a recent addition to my football menu, and has been vanishing quickly everytime I make it.  Shredded chicken blended with cream cheese, your favorite barbecue sauce a few spoonfuls of ranch and some spices, make up this wildly delicious dip great to serve with tortilla chips, cornbread crackers or even with big chunks of cornbread.

For fun, add in some corn, kidney beans, black beans or even some sauteed onions for some texture if you choose, or just make as directed for dip you won’t be able to stop eating either.
