When I first started to think about what I would make for the hometowns episode, I was STUMPED. I started looking into popular foods from the places that the contestants lived and I just was uninspired. I decided to think of the kinds of appetizers that I make for family get togethers. Most of the things that we make when our family is together are simple and delicious. I decided to make two dips to cater to two flavor pallets(sounds so official lol). Buffalo chicken dip is so freakin’ good and then my personal favorite is ham and pickle roll up dip.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
1-2 chicken breast shredded(1 large or 2 small)
2 8oz packets of cream cheese
1 1/2 cups mozzarella
1/2 cup of Franks Buffalo Sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Add shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce and mozzarella to a small crockpot. Heat until warm stirring occasionally, add salt and pepper to your liking. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
Ham and Pickle Roll up dip
8 oz diced ham
16 oz diced pickles
2 8oz packets of cream cheese
Combine decided ham, diced pickles and cream cheese together, serve cold with crackers. I like the Vans GF crackers, they are also really good with ritz crackers.
These are such easy recipes that take less than 10 minutes to make. I also like making both of these together because one dip is hot and the other is cold. After I made these I realized that I have about 3 other dips that I make that I want to share! Maybe those will come to the blog soon! Let me know if you try these and if you like them!
