FAQ

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you cant find shredded chicken, try shredded turkey or even diced tofu for a unique twist
• You can swap out cream cheese with Greek yogurt which gives a lighter and tangier dip
• No buffalo wing sauce? Mix your favorite hot sauce with a little melted butter to get that same spicy flair
• If ranch dressing isn’t available, a yogurt-based ranch or buttermilk dressing works pretty well
• Out of cheddar cheese? Pepper jack or mozzarella can be cool alternatives for a different flavor vibe

Pro Tips

1. Try to take the cream cheese out of the fridge a bit early so it softens up naturally, or even nuke it for a few seconds if you’re in a hurry – it helps the sauces mix in better.
2. When you pour in the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing, make sure to stir it up good; that way you get all flavors in every bite, rather than having a clump of one flavor in one spot.
3. If you’re a fan of extra cheesy crust on top, keep an eye on it and consider stirring in a little earlier if you want a more uniform creamy texture throughout.
4. Don’t be afraid to adjust the cooking time a bit – sometimes 2 hours is enough, sometimes 3 might be needed; just check if it is melty and bubbly before you call it done.
