If you love cheese and buffalo chicken – you will obsess over this recipe. Not to mention it can either be made hot or mild based off the type of buffalo sauce or hot sauce you are using.

I typically use buffalo sauce for a little spice and kick to it.

You only need a few ingredients to make this, which is great. And you can serve it with anything you want: tortilla chips, crackers, veggies, anything you are craving. I do recommend serving this dish hot out the oven too. If you do have leftovers, warm up in microwave or oven so it is warm again!
