Pro Tips for the Best Buffalo Chicken Dip

• Use Freshly Shredded Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect melting (as seen in my pictures). Freshly shredded cheese will give you the best results.
• Adjust Spice Level: Add extra buffalo sauce for more heat. Mix in a little more ranch dressing to make it less spicy.
• Make it Ahead: Assemble the dip in advance, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.
• Slow Cooker Option: Mix all ingredients and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
