Buffalo chicken dip in a baking dish with melted cheese and hot sauce swirl, tortilla chips for dipping

Stir halfway through baking so the cheese melts evenly.

How to make it

Heat the oven to 350°F.. Grease your baking dish lightly.
Soften the cream cheese.. Let it sit on the counter 20 minutes first, or microwave it 20 seconds. Soft cream cheese mixes way easier.
Mix it all up.. Stir together the cream cheese, hot sauce and ranch until smooth. Fold in the chicken and 1½ cups of the cheddar.
Spread and top.. Spread the mix in the dish and sprinkle the rest of the cheddar and the blue cheese on top if using.
Bake 20 minutes.. Stir once halfway through. It is done when hot, bubbly and golden on top.
Serve hot.. Set it out with a big bowl of tortilla chips and let everyone dig in.

How to serve it

Tortilla chips, celery sticks and carrot sticks for dipping.
