Favorite Summer Recipe - Buffalo Chicken Dip

So this is probably actually my favorite recipe... period.  Summer, winter, football season, holiday parties, etc.  Anytime there is a gathering of people, especially co-ed, I make this.  I brought it to our neighborhood Halloween block party the year we moved in and none of them had ever had it before. They all went crazy for it and I've continued making it for our block parties ever since. 

Ingredients:

2-3 cans (10 oz) chunk white chicken

1 bottle Frank's RedHot Sauce (or similar buffalo style sauce)

2 packages (8 oz) cream cheese

1 bottle ranch dressing

1.5 cups shredded cheddar

Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a 9x13 baking pan (I actually use Pampered Chef stoneware).  In a bowl, mix the chicken with the hot sauce, then spread it evenly as the bottom layer of the baking dish.  Spread half the cheddar cheese over the chicken layer.  Melt the cream cheese together with the ranch dressing in a saucepan and mix it up well, then pour it evenly over the chicken and cheddar.  Spread the rest of the cheddar on top, cover with foil and bake for about 20-30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

Serve it with Tostitos Scoops, celery sticks, pita chips, Triscuits, or anything else!  Sooooo yummy.   

*I tried using blue cheese dressing instead of the ranch.  It tasted good but was REALLY greasy, I find the ranch works much better.
