This crockpot buffalo ranch is low car and easy!
If you need another super easy, dump and go recipe, I have one that you will love. It does call for wing sauce, but you can use mild sauce. That’s what I do so everyone can eat it in my house. I also buy the generic version, because I like to save money. This is such an easy recipe that can be used in so many ways.
This is such a versatile recipe.
You can use this as a filling in wraps. I made some on plan pasta for me. I used this in bell pepper halves for hubby and a couple of kids. If you are new here, I am not a huge bell pepper fan, but my family likes them. I took bell peppers, cut them in half and deseeded them. I filled with the filling and baked at 350 for at least 15 minutes.
I use a dry ranch that doesn’t have a lot of bad ingredients in it.
You can make your own, use one like I use, or use whatever you want. This recipe is so simple. Dry ranch on the chicken, cover the chicken breasts with wing sauce (however hot you want), cook for a few hours. When the chicken is cooked through, shred it (the easiest is with a mixer), add some cream cheese and let melt. And then use however you want.
This crockpot buffalo ranch chicken is also a great freezer recipe!
If you want to save even more time and money, buy the chicken when it is on sale and make a few for the freezer! Just dump the chicken, ranch, and wing sauce in your freezer bag. I have been making a lot of dump and go freezer crockpot recipes. Look for a recipe roundup coming soon!!
