    The Whole Crowd Will Love This Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip!

    As a University of Florida graduate, game day is pretty serious business around here.

    Although we live about an hour and a half away, we never make it to the games. Between the heat, humidity, and crowds, I prefer to enjoy the fun in the comfort of my own home.

    Preferably with the air conditioning set at or below 72 degrees.

    (It is still in the 90's here. Apparently, Florida didn't get the memo that it is now fall.)

    One of my favorite parts of my week is when I plan my game day menu.

    One of my go-to recipes is this Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip.

    It is creamy goodness that the whole crowd will love. While it is easy to fit into your keto diet macros, this is one that even carb-lovers will go wild for.

    I love this creamy, cheesy dip, and I think you will be just as wild about it as I am.

    How to Make Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip

    1 First, preheat your oven to 350. (Skip if you are using your slow cooker.) In a food processor combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and hot sauce. Process until smooth. (If you don’t have a food processor you can combine in a bowl.)
