Easy Buffalo Cheese Dip
Blue cheese isn’t for everyone. Buffalo sauce isn’t for everyone. Heck, beer definitely isn’t for everyone. But if you like those three things, you will love this buffalo cheese dip. I sincerely hope I can stop myself from devouring the entire thing during the Superbowl.
Someone needs to come over to save Pat and me from eating all of this on our own. This is my cry for help!
What’s the Best Beer for This Dip?
I recommend using an IPA–whichever you prefer–for this beer cheese dip.
We used Schlafly’s American IPA in our dip, and it was delicious. I love Schlafly; It’s a St. Louis company, and we are so proud to call them our own! If you’re in the area, you have to check out their taproom. It’s so much fun, and I love taking out-of-town friends there!
Why you’ll love this Beer Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip:
- It’s easy yet impressive: All those flavors mingling together looks like something that took hours to make–and that can stay our little secret!
- It’s a football favorite: Nothing goes with football season like buffalo wings, beer, and cheese. This recipe puts them all together.
- Warm and Savory: Football weather is cold weather. A hot recipe will beat the chill every time.
Ingredients in Beer Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Shredded chicken (Cook before adding to the dip. I like using a rotisserie chicken to save time.)

How to Make This Amazing Dip
This dip is so easy to make, and it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser! It’s great for tailgate parties, too, because so many people bring cold snacks to share–a hot one is sure to get plenty of attention!
- Combine all ingredients (except chicken and blue cheese) in a mixing bowl. Gently stir in the shredded chicken.
- Spread the mixture in a baking dish, top with blue cheese crumbles and bake until hot and bubbly
To Serve: Beer Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip can be served with any of your typical dippers. It’s great with tortilla chips (especially when they’re warmed), hearty crackers, toasted bread, or pretzels.

What if I Don’t Like Blue Cheese?
You can leave off the blue cheese and the recipe will still turn out fine. To compensate, add a bit more Monterrey jack cheese on top.
How Do I Take This Hot Dip to a Party?
If you’re driving to the party, you sure don’t want cheese and buffalo sauce all over your floor mats!
Find a cardboard box or a cooler to hold the baking pan; wrap in newspaper or towels to hold in the heat. It really doesn’t take that long to bake, so you may want to bake it onsite.
Isn’t it a Lot of Work to Cook and Shred the Chicken?
The quickest way to get the shredded chicken is to buy pre-shredded rotisserie chicken at the grocery store. Problem solved!
However, if you’re making a chicken dish during the week, make a bit extra, and save it to use in this dip.

Does this dip have a strong beer flavour?, I’m not sure about adding the beer…could I substitute it with something else?
It doesn’t, but you can totally leave it out if that worries you!!
can this be done in a crockpot instead of baked? I have a lot of pot lucks but they start at lunchtime, no ovens to bake it.
Hey there Becky! I made this recipe for a FL/GA Party this weekend and it was a hit! So yummy and sooo so easy to make! Thanks for posting!! ??
Amazing recipes much thanks
Thanks Nadia!!
I couldn’t find it listed, how many servings does this yield?
It would feed about 8-10, less if you eat a ton of it…which I do :)
Hi, I was wondering if there could be a substitute for the blue cheese? This sounds amazing but we don’t like blue cheese. Thanks!
Hey Ashley! We have made this before and just left out the blue cheese. Its kind of an extra topping, so its just as good without it. My husband hates blue cheese too so he prefers it without! Hope you love it :) thanks for stopping by!
This looks so yummy!! You have to be a professional photographer, these photos are so tempting – they make me drool all over the keyboard. I love buffalo dip, there’s so many great uses for it. Naturally, I need to add about 20 minutes to my exercise routine after I eat this but it’s sooooooo worth it.
You are just so sweet! I agree about anything buffalo! I just can’t stay away :)
This dip looks incredible! We are huge buffalo chicken dip lovers. Almost to the point of being connoisseurs:) We have not, however, had one with beer and blue cheese!
i LOVE buffalo chicken too! one of my all-time weaknesses! Hope you love the dip :)
That buffalo chicken dip looks AWESOME! I have already printed it and will probably make it very soon!
