I went through the recipes looking for something Super Bowl appropriate; I was thinking maybe I would find a good wing recipe or something like that. When I saw the cheesy buffalo chicken dip I thought that might be perfect. I remembered my mom making it a couple of times and I had loved it.
My beautiful mom, Joann.
I also remembered trying to prepare food for my mom when I was a little kid. She was sick and wanted a sandwich. My first attempt was something along the lines of a ham and peanut butter sandwich with mayo. My poor mom probably held back some vomit and asked me to try again, this time with clearer instructions - just put a piece of ham between two pieces of bread. I did, but I thought it would cheer her up more if I also gorged out a smiley face in the top piece of bread and filled the holes with sprinkles. Needless to say, she ended up making her own sandwich.
What you need for this recipe (no sprinkles):
1 package of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot (I put that sh*t on everything!)
2 cups cooked chicken
Just mix all the ingredients in a pie tin (I used a regular baking dish). It looked like this:
Then bake for 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven, until hot and bubbly. Stir everything together.
I packed it up and headed down to my bff Gretchen's to watch the big game. We broke into some tortilla chips and tried the dip. It was so good, but very spicy. I liked it, but if you aren't a huge fan I would recommend using a little less of the hot sauce (my mom warned me about that too when I told her I was making this).
And to really make the evening great, the Giants won. Yay!
I am still undecided about next week's recipe, so I guess it will be a surprise. Have a great week!
