Buffalo Chicken Nachos (or just the dip!)


Here is the recipe from FRANKS REDHOT.... its hands down one of the best recipes out there.  If you are like my friend Tommy, you will put it on your pulled pork sandwich.  If your like my friend Liz, you can put it on your nachos - those directions are to follow :)

What you need:

8  oz. pkg.  cream cheese, softened  - you find these in the refrigerator section of your supermarket.  They are silver blocks.
1/2  cup  blue cheese or ranch salad dressing - Use Blue Cheese.... the best Blue cheese in the world is made by light house... you can find that with the pre-made salads in the supermarket... I know Shaw's carries it.
1/2  cup  any flavor FRANK'S® REDHOT® Sauce - DO NOT USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN FRANKS
1/2  cup  crumbled blue cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese - I like to use Mozzarella, to much blue cheese is overkill
2  cans (9.75 oz. each)  SWANSON® White Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, drained  - Canned chicken is GROSS.  Go to the store, buy a rotisserie chicken, pull out the breasts and shred the chicken with a fork.... the only things that I believe should be canned are peas, corn, tuna and olives, canned meats make me want to throw up, and they will RUIN your dip.... big apology to Diane right here, thats why Brad could taste the difference ;)


DIRECTIONS:
1.HEAT oven to 350°F. Place cream cheese into deep baking dish. Stir until smooth.  CHEAT... put the cream cheese in a pie plate and melt it in the microwave, one it is soft, move on to step two.


2.Pour into a bowl, MIX in salad dressing, Frank's RedHot Sauce and cheese. Stir in chicken.

NOW you can place it in the deep baking dish

3.BAKE 20 min. or until mixture is heated through; stir. Garnish as desired. Serve with crackers or vegetables.


A few notes here:  Don't serve this with Vegetables, thats bull - use tostitos.
And the word "Garnish" is also bull - when this dip is almost done, throw some cheddar on top... and by "throw some cheddar", I actually mean take a few handfuls of it and go to town.


NOW - to make this a DELISH Nacho plate you will need:

Tostitos - yummers.
jalapeños - if you want to get crazy
Canned olives!!
Red onion
sour cream

Use these ingredients to make your nachos - I'm not giving you directions on how to make Nachos... if you cant do that, your a moron.

Once you have made the Nachos - you can do one of two things - pour the dip over the nachos, but only if the wolves are hungry - otherwise it may get soggy.

OR you can serve it on the side - either way its sure to be a hit.

Good Luck!!

P.S.  Walsh... I know you love Gwak - unfortunately there is no room for gwak in this recipe :)
But because I love you, I will post my favorite homemade gwak recipe in a few hours.

P.S.S.... Im really sad I am not coming, I would wear a steelers turtle-neck with you.
