For any get-together, especially if it’s sports fans celebrating a big game, food is always the center of attention. It seems like pizza and wings are usually at the top of the list as both in many varieties and flavors. My SUPER SUPREME PIZZA SLIDERS can be found here. Now to the wings, well the taste of wings in this Cheesy Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip.
Do you have a Pinterest Board full of my recipes?
How did the famous Buffalo Wings begin? The most popular answer seems to be the originated in 1964 in Buffalo, NY at The Anchor Bar, a family owned business. They were covered in a special sauce and served with a side of blue cheese and celery because that’s what was available.
On a road trip in 2016, we stopped in Buffalo and tried them out. Thumbs up on these wings.
Now that the history lesson is over, let’s get back to the Cheesy Crock Pot Buffalo Dip. This creamy, cheesy dip is not only delicious for any occasion, but easy to make with just a few ingredients. You just throw a few things in the crock pot and a couple hours later, you have a completed dip which will be everyone’s go-to recipe.
