Our Superbowl Spread (the Buffalo Chicken Dip is just above the veggie tray)
First off….a big shout out to Cate over at Sweetnicks! She is my first “go to” when I’m looking for a new recipe. She also had a great writing style with lots of pictures of her two cutie kidlets Madeline & Nick. Both of the recipes I’m posting tonight came from her site. Go check her site out…..I’ll wait.
Okay, back now? Good! I made both of these appetizers for our Super Bowl watching party/birthday party. Both went over really well & I will definitely make both of them again. Since I haven’t posted about our get together, I’m going to post some of those pictures too.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
from Rachel Ray by way of Sweetnicks
- 8 oz brick of lite cream cheese
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (I baked 2 chicken breasts & chopped them up)
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (I used Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce (not hot sauce))
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbles
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 300°F. Spread cream cheese in a shallow casserole dish or ceramic pie plate. Mix buffalo wing sauce & butter. Pour over chicken and mix well. Pour chicken/wing sauce mixture over cream cheese. Sprinkle on bleu cheese crumbles & then the mozza (just a thin layer or it will be hard to dip). Bake for 20 minutes or until mozzarella is melted. Serve with tortilla chips or scoops.
Recipe Notes: Two thumbs up. So, so, so good! Yum!
Spinach Cheese Squares from Sweetnicks
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pound cheddar cheese (I just guestimated b/c I wasn’t sure how much a pound was living in Canada and all)
- 2 packages of frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry (the square packages)
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped fine
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat eggs well. Add flour, milk & baking soda. Mix well. Add cheese, spinach and onion. Mix well. Pour into pan. Bake for 35 minutes. Let cool at least 45 minutes before cutting into squares.
Recipe Notes: This reminded me of a crustless quiche. They turned out very tasty (much tastier than the look in my opinion).
Don’t forget to head over to Shan’s to see what else is cooking this Wednesday (I hear it’s Pink Lemonade Cupcakes…..YUMMY!)
