Notes
Ingredient substitutions: If you’re looking to lighten up the dish, try using Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese. For a twist, add in diced jalapeños for extra heat, or replace the buffalo sauce with BBQ sauce for a different flavor profile. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
