The biggest game of the year is here—Super Bowl Sunday! While the spotlight may be on Patrick Mahomes and the action on the field, let’s be real—the real MVP is the food.

This Buffalo Chicken Dip is one of my all-time favorite game-day snacks. It’s creamy, packed with protein, and loaded with bold, tangy flavor. My secret? Go heavy on the cream cheese for extra richness, and when it comes to wing sauce, Hooters’ brand is a game-changer. Whether you're hosting a party or just indulging in a solo snack session, this dip is a guaranteed winner.

Here’s how to make it.

• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper until smooth.

3. Top with 1/4 cup cheddar and 1/4 cup mozzarella and bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes until bubbling and cheese has browned.
4. Serve immediately with your favorite chips, vegetables, or crackers and enjoy!
