Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package of dinner rolls
Instructions
- Prepare your campfire or portable camping stove, ensuring a stable cooking surface.
- In a cast-iron skillet or heavy-duty camping pan, combine cream cheese and buffalo sauce, stirring until smooth and well-blended.
- Add shredded cooked chicken to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce and cream cheese.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken mixture, creating an even layer.
- Cover the skillet with aluminum foil or a tight-fitting lid to help the cheese melt and ingredients heat through.
- Place the skillet on the campfire grate or camping stove, using medium heat to warm the dip. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, occasionally checking to prevent burning.
- While the dip is heating, slice dinner rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill or over the campfire for added warmth and crispness.
- Once the cheese is fully melted and the dip is hot throughout, remove from heat using heat-resistant gloves or camping mitts.
- Let the dip rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and temperature to stabilize.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, accompanied by the toasted dinner rolls for dipping.
