Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

- Stir in the buffalo wing sauce and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing. Mix well.
- Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Top the dip with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and the blue cheese crumbles, if using.

Notes
- For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients except the top layer of cheese. Cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour. Top with cheese and cook until melted.
- You can prepare this dip ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
