Notes
- Adjust the heat level to your taste - If you want it milder, use less hot sauce, or add more if you like extra spice.
- Shred your own cheese - Freshly shredded cheese melts so much better than the bagged cheese.
- Use a rotisserie chicken if you are in a hurry and don't feel like making your own.
- For reheating - If the dip thickens after chilling, stir in a bit more ranch to help bring it back to scoopable creaminess.
- For Serving - Keep the slow cooker set to warm. This will make sure your dip stays perfectly creamy.
