Ingredients

1/2 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce* $1.26
4 Tbsp butter $0.60
1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.05
8 oz. cream cheese $2.19
2 Tbsp buttermilk ranch dressing $0.25
3 cups chopped cooked chicken $4.00
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional) $1.00

Instructions

Add the hot sauce, butter, and garlic powder to a small saucepot. Stir and cook over medium until the butter has melted and combined with the hot sauce.
Cut the cream cheese into chunks and add it to the sauce pot along with the ranch dressing. Stir and whisk over medium until the cream cheese has melted and created a smooth and creamy sauce.
Add the chopped chicken to the saucepot and stir to combine. Stir and cook over medium just until heated through. Be careful not to let the dip boil.
Taste the dip and adjust the heat (hot sauce) or any of the other flavors to your liking. Transfer to a bowl and top with crumbled blue cheese, then enjoy!
