Bacon & Blue Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip

It’s almost time for the S(t)uperbowl. So I hear, anyway. I don’t even know who’s playing. Yawn.
I’d rather be eating bacon.
Still, I know the S(t)uperbowl is practically an American holiday, so I bacon-fied the best part about it: Buffalo Chicken Dip.
Just remember, Team Bacon always wins.

“Like Frank’s”? Excuse me, no other hot sauce is like Frank’s! This sounds like a great dip, and I might just have to try it! Thanks!
I’ll have to double up on my cholesterol pills for this one but it sounds like heaven!
I like to think it’ll be worth it
Yum!
