EASY HOT DOG CHILI FOR NFL FOOTBALL WATCH PARTY
Directions:
- Preheat Smoker to 350ºF
- Start by mixing two cheeses and sour cream together. The cream cheese, sour cream, and Pepper Jack should be mixed together thoroughly before you add the Ranch seasoning packets. Once this is all mixed, layer it on the bottom of a 12-inch cast iron pan (or whatever pan you’ll be using)
- Mix the shredded chicken with your buffalo sauce of choice, so it is evenly coated.
- Spread this chicken mixture on top of the cheesy bottom layer with which you started.
- Once you have the main two layers set, top the chicken with crumbled blue cheese. Place the skillet in the pre-heated smoker and heat it up until the cheese begins to bubble (this should take around 15 minutes).
- Top with red onion and cilantro before serving.
