Years ago I concocted a Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Dip, I was stoked about the recipe. In my blogging naive mind, this recipe was going to go viral! It was just that good!

It's actually quite a good recipe that we still make around the holidays to this day, but it was nothing revolutionary and it sort of fell flat in the wild world of the internet.

Years later, and there I was perusing the internet when I came across a Facebook post of my friend and fellow THM coach Amy raving around another diary-free cheese dip that she had come across.

Now, we don't live a dairy-free lifestyle around here, and although there are some things that I try dairy free because let's face it, sometimes it's just healthier, a dairy-free cheese dip didn't sound too delicious. For all you dairy-free fans out there, here is the post by Amy along with the recipe link.

However, the post got me thinking about my Buffalo Chicken recipe and if I could tweak the recipe into a cheese dipping sauce.

This cheese dip is perfect for those holiday parties that are fast approaching!

Instructions

This is a dump-and-go recipe. There is very little prep and a lot of return for such a delicious recipe!

Hint: make sure to keep stirring. Lower heat is better than high heat.

FAQ

Can you substitute different types of cheese in this recipe? Absolutely. Basically, any type of shredded cheese will world well. Gouda is one of my favorites!

Will reduced-fat cream cheese work in this recipe? Yes, it will.

Why is my cheese dip so watery? There are many reasons why a dip can get watery. Cooking extra long can cause this because the heat will release extra moisture from the ingredients. The same thing can happen if it's stored in the refrigerator for too long.

Variations

There are many different ways that you can add your own variation to this recipe. My recipes are always guidelines! Feel free to make it your own by adding some additional ingredients or replacing others.

• Spicy - Add some jalapenos!
• Kid-friendly - remove the Rotel tomatoes and add canned diced tomatoes

Equipment

This recipe requires very little equipment. You simply need a way to melt and combine the ingredients together. The easiest way to do this is with a pan/pot and spatula. You may choose to use a serving dish if you are bringing this to a gathering. The recipe can be used with a crockpot if desired.

• Pan or pot - I use my cast iron enamel pan
• Crockpot - optional
• Spatula - I use my wooden ones

Storage

Store in an airtight container for up to one week in the refrigerator. These are my absolute favorite storage containers. They are beautiful and practical!

These ingredients do/don't stand up well to freezing.
