Crack dip recipe
I searched around and found that this was the DC Nest approved crack dip recipe:
http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/buffalo-chicken-dip/Detail.aspx
However, I'm wondering if this can be done in the oven, rather than a crock pot? So rather than transferring to a slow cooker, I transfer it to a baking pan. Any recommendations? How long to cook and at what temp?
Re: Crack dip recipe
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
Everything is cooked, so you really just need to heat through. 350 for 20-30 sounds like it would do the trick.
We like it in the oven, but it won't stay hot for too long if that's an issue.
When you click on the recipe, if you click on the 'reviews' link, then sort by 'most helpful', it says:
Great dip for football season! I used Texas Pete Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Sauce, 1/3 less-fat cream cheese (aka Neufchatel), and 1 lb. of fresh chicken that was boiled for 20 minutes (or until done) and then shredded. However, to avoid the strange "orange sherbert" color of the dip, I layered the ingredients in a 8"x11" baking dish as follows: Mix together the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing and spread evenly in the bottom of the dish. Then mix together the shredded chicken and wing sauce (about 2/3 bottle)and layer on top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle just a small amount of shredded cheese (I used Colby/Jack) over the top. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until dip is heated through and cheese is melted. I just think people tend to shy away from the dip when it's all mixed together because of the strange color. It's more recognizable (retains a brighter red color) when it's layered and gets gobbled up faster!
