Buffalo Chicken Dip

We ate this at a party and immediately (well, that same day) went looking for the recipe. We've made it for a few gatherings already, and even went out and got a small crock pot to serve it properly. The flavors blend even after cooking, so don't add any extra hot sauce unless you expect some serious heat. Trust me. --Mark

Ingredients:

2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup Ranch dressing
3/4 cup pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot®)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces
1 (8 ounce) box chicken-flavored crackers

Instructions:

Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers.

Notes:

We find that Triscuts are the best crackers for this dip, but that's just us.
