I know everyone asks but can you post the recipe for the buffalo chicken dip and your taco dip? We are going to a party but not a football party, my DBF and his friend are having a "frag swap", where people bring small pieces of the corals from their saltwater tanks and either trade with other people or buy them. Since he is co-hosting we volunteered to bring some snacks, I was planning to make a bean dip (which everyone loves) but I'm curious about your taco dip and I think people might love the buffalo chicken dip.....
Buffalo Chicken Dip
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch salad dressing
1/2 cup Hot Sauce or Buffalo Wing Sauce
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cans cooked, chopped chicken
DIRECTIONS:
HEAT oven to 350°F. Place cream cheese into deep baking dish. Stir until smooth.
MIX in salad dressing, Hot Sauce and cheese. Stir in chicken.
BAKE 20 min. or until mixture is heated through; stir. Garnish as desired. Serve with crackers or vegetables.
I don't care for blue cheese so I use the ranch dressing/mozzarella cheese combination, but I've also halved the recipe and made two dips - one with blue cheese and one with ranch. I keep them warm in mini crock-pots. Also, I used the canned chicken because it's easier.
I have two taco dips - very similar - I'll post both.
Easy Taco Dip
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 8 oz. jar sour cream
1 package taco seasoning
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped tomato
1 cup chopped lettuce
Mix together softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth. Spread in pie plate.
Layer in order - lettuce, shredded cheese, tomato. Chill for one hour before serving.
Seven Layer Taco Dip
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 cup guacamole
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 package taco seasoning mix
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup black olives, drained
In a large serving dish, spread the refried beans. Layer the guacamole on top of the beans.
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream and taco seasoning mix. Spread over the layer of guacamole.
Sprinkle a layer of Cheddar cheese over the mayonnaise mixture layer. Sprinkle tomato, green onions and black olives over the cheese.
Chill before serving.
I serve both taco dips with Tostitos scoops since it's easier to get the dip on the chip and less messy, IMO.
