Recipe of the Week; BUFFALO WING -N- CHEESE DIP

"Here we go Steelers, Here we go!"

You can't imagine how crazy things in and around the 'Burgh are these days with our beloved Steelers getting ready to nab their 7th Super Bowl Title!

It's like Christmas all over again- an ongoing celebration until the BIG DAY arrives! And what do you do on a holiday? Why eat, of course!

Super Bowl Sunday is a pretty big event in our house, but it's most exciting when we get to see Ben, Hines, James, Troy and the rest of our boys in action! Already I've been planning a menu!

I've been making this dip for the last few years on Super Bowl Sunday, and it goes over so well. In fact, a pan of this dip nets us ZERO leftovers. SCORE!!

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups shredded, cooked chicken (leftovers or a rotisserie are great for this!)
1 8 oz. block cream cheese, softened
1 8 oz. block Monterrey Jack cheese, cubed
1/2 cup or so shredded Mexican cheese blend (optional)
1 cup Ranch salad dressing
5 oz. hot sauce, I recommend Frank's (add more if you like heartburn)
tortilla chips
celery sticks
chicken-flavored crackers

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix softened cream cheese, Ranch dressing and hot sauce in bowl. Stir in chicken and cubed Jack cheese.

Spread into a square glass dish. Bake approximate 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbly. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Allow dip to sit for 5 minutes or so to "set". Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, and/or chicken flavored crackers.
