Day 60!
s-i-x-t-y. I'm amazed too.
It is also February 29! And that means that my url should technically be 366 days... but I screwed up and didn't realize it was leap year when I made it up. Does that mean that I get a day off at some point this year?
In honor of Leap Year Day, I think you should eat snack food all day long because the calories really shouldn't count on a day that only happens every four years. And it's Friday, which of course means that it's mommy margarita day...
I got this recipe from Eleisia at Chrysanthemoms. followed it exactly, and was so happy that I did, because it was perfect!
The Ingredients:
--1 1/2 cups shredded or diced cooked chicken
--2 cups blue cheese salad dressing
--1/4-1/2 cup tabasco sauce (taste while you are putting it in--some people like more spice than others!)
--1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
The Directions:
--dump everything into a small crockpot (or put an oven-safe dish into a large crockpot filled with ingredients)
--stir to combine
--cook on high 1-2 hours, or until cheese is completely melted and flavors are melded. Take care not to over-cook, or the salad dressing might separate.
--taste. if you want it spicier, add more tobasco. if you want it to taste more mild, add more dressing.serve with your favorite chips, celery, french bread or crackers.
and a margarita.

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.)
