Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/3 cup hot sauce
- 1 can chicken drained
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Drain chicken and place in a saucepan along with the hot sauce on medium heat. Stir it until heated through, "mashing" the chicken so that it separates a bit.1 can chicken, 1/3 cup hot sauce
- Add the cream cheese and ranch dressing, and stir until fully melted and incorporated. Add the cheddar cheese in batches, stirring until fully melted between additions.8 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup ranch dressing, 1 cup cheddar cheese
- Serve warm with carrots, celery, crackers, or other dip conduits.
Notes
- I generally make this with cream cheese, but for a lower-fat dish that doesn't sacrifice taste, feel free to use Neufchatel. Don't use fat-free cream cheese, as it doesn't melt as well.
- For the hot sauce, you're looking for a Louisiana-style hot sauce, so grab Frank's or something similar
