We love this dip, it is a favorite snack item in our home..

buffalo chicken DIP?!
I've never heard of such a thing. Off to the store...

Love the margarita!!!

I love this dip too, although I rarely make it... should put it on my menu monthly!!

(and when I was working on my resolutions, I originally put down 365 too... fooled me til I realized we had an extra day :-))

In Accounting we use 360 days to equal a year. 30 days a month, 30*12=360. So that gives you 6 full days to eat snacks only.

Hmmm, I'm a little concerned. I see the photo of the margarita and the post time of 4:10 AM. Taking full advantage of the day, I see!:)

This recipe sounds good. I never thought of putting an oven safe dish in the crockpot. I have a large one. Do you need to put water in the crockpot around the outside of the dish?

linda, this was the first time we tried it, but it is definitely our new favorite!

ginny, I hadn't either!

CS, I felt pretty lame about the 365...

tejo, that is good to know! I may have to reserve that right.

stephanie c., lol. we made it last friday. and I put the vitamix to good use!

shilah, no, you don't need to add water. The small oven-safe dish (no lid) is just to create a smaller container for the dip to cook in if you only have a huge crockpot. If you use these measurements in a large crock, it will cook too quickly since it won't be at least 50-75% full.

happy friday!

yum yum! i have never had this before. it's going on my list of must makes!

and yes you get a day off. pick one.
just warn us in advance so we won't get crockpot withdrawal!

ooo.. looks yummy. If Linda says its good, its gotta be.. ehehe she hasnt steered me wrong yet! Im definitely writing this one down... Thanks!!

I am so going to make this! Thank you! :)

[For any gf readers, note that the mold that is part of blue cheese is usually made on bread and therefore not gf.] Have a great crockpotting day!

M--thank you for that reminder! Wish Bone has stated that their blue cheese dressing *is* gluten free, and we haven't had any reactions. But, like always, gotta do your homework and use your best judgement.

I love the last ingredient in your meal....MARGARITA. Can I have strawberry please?
I will definitely be back to check out your recipes and give you some feedback. This is a great idea. Good luck!!!

My favorite recipe for parties! The only difference (and I know there are a lot of versions of this one) is that I use a jar of wing sauce ( i like hooters), a jar of salsa, a block of cream cheese...so good.

This looks very, very yummy and like great hangover food. That is, if you have one too many mommy margaritas.

Hey, I know this is an old post to leave a comment on...but I made this for a neighborhood gathering, and the bowl was licked clean...thanks!!

Not sure why, but I had to "sop" up a huge amount of grease from this dish. It also curdled on me. Not sure what I did wrong

mmmmm. this was a big hit at a recent party.

One of my FAVES! I made it when we had a family gathering in NH and they literally licked the pan clean. I was just reading your blog and I was liek "I wonder if I can make Buffalo Chicken Dip in the crock?" and then I saw your post! I'm definitely going to try it.

Your recipe sounds really good! I recently made a buffalo chicken dip but with different ingredients: http://tamiskitchentabletalk.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-football-season.html (just sharing the recipe, please remove the link if you do not allow it.) It turned out really well, too.

I made this over the weekend but substituted Ranch for the Blue Cheese (just because that's what I had) and it got RAVE reviews!!!! Thanks so much! :)

We ate it with tostitos and beer bread! :)

this is my favorite "Party dip"-I use all the same ingredients yet I also add a block of cream cheese...I can't get enough of it when I make it!
thanks for your blog! It has been a lifesaver to me with a 4 year old and a 3 monith Marathon Nurser...
Keep on Crockin'!

oooo this was yummy--we changed the sauce to Franks Red Hot Buffalo Chicken sauce...YUM!

Made this the other day with canned chicken breast and chipotle tabasco, it was SO good, even my fairly picky husband liked it Thanks!

I just stumbled upon this recipe...And as yummy as it sounds, we do NOT like blue cheese...Is it apparent in this recipe? Or is there another cheese you reccomend?

Hi Amanda, I've had reports of people using Ranch dressing instead of the blue cheese---that would work just as well.

Can this be frozen? I want to make a large batch of this so my hubby can have some whenever he craves it. Also, if you use canned chicken, does it affect the taste too much? Thanks!!

Hi Bug, those are two very good questions I don't know the answer to! I think yes and yes, but I don't really know for sure because I haven't tried it myself.

I've made this before, and it's delicious. I'm pregnant now and have had a serious craving for blue cheese, so I'm excited to be making the dip again tonight. Because it is well heated and served hot, it's safe for me and the baby to eat the blue cheese.

(I just hope I don't get sick from the tiny uncooked smidge that I licked off of my finger without thinking.)

I make buffalo chicken by putting just buffalo sauce and chicken in the crockpot. We use it to make sandwiches or serve it on top of cauliflower mashed potatoes when we are watching carbs. We don't put in any cheese. Yum Yum

Being from Buffalo, and have always made this receipe in the oven.....you need to use Franks Hot Sauce, creme cheese and not as much of the blue cheese. You can also add chopped celery to this as we always serve our wings with celery and bleu cheese on the side.

Steph - can you cook this on low for 2-4 hrs or does it need to be higher and for a shorter time? Also, I have a 2qt pot - would that be small enough?

Hi Jess,

absolutely. a 2 quart is a perfect size. My new 2 quart lets a lot of steam and moisture out through a vent hole. if you have that problem, put a layer of foil down and then the lid, or use a folded piece of foil to seal the gap/hole.

low is great----you're just heating through and melting the cheese.

I had a recipe similar to this that I always make in a large oven pan to serve at parties! NOW I can make it in my crock pot!!!

I doubled this recipe because I only have a 5 quart cooker and this recipe seemed too small for it. So I have leftovers (I'm going to put it over a salad tomorrow!) But I used canned chicken that I had on hand, I used Marie's light bleu cheese and since I had very little hot sauce, I actually used some jalapeno juice from a jar that I have in my fridge (I obviously LOVE the spicy, lol).

It was GREAT!!!

I recently came accross your blog and I LOVE IT! at the moment I have my steak marinating for the night to make steak and blue cheese rollups, then I have the buffalo chicken dip cooking in the crockpot. I am looking forward to it all!

I have been fantasizing about this recipe for months. Seriously. I've lost sleep over it. I'm finally going to cave in today and buy a 1.5 qt crockpot. Just waiting for traffic to die down before I brave the streets and aisles of Target.

One thing I will change though... I'll probably replace half of the cheddar with half a block of cream cheese (or neufchatel).

I bought your cookbook today and am very excited to have it. Your blog has changed my life. As a non cooking person, the celiac diagnosis was very overwhelming. Add Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to the mix and you have kitchen disaster. There was no way for me to conquer gluten free cooking and my husband had to take over. We just made do. Thanks to your blog, I can make dinner when I have the energy in the morning and later when I am totally exhausted, voila, dinner is done! I will still use your blog to find the recipes and then look to see if they are in the book. Have you ever considered adding the cookbook page to your recipes on the blog? I think it would be a great addition. Oh, and my family would like to thank you from the bottom of their hearts too. They especially like Pomegranate Beef, Korean Beef Tacos, Leg of Lamb, Indian Butter Chicken and, and, and.....
