Notes
You can STORE leftover Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–5 days. To FREEZE, let the dip cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. It will stay good in the freezer for up to 2 months.
When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the microwave until warmed through or in the oven at a low temperature until bubbly. You can also reheat scoops of it in a glass baking dish in the microwave.
If REHEATING from frozen, stir occasionally and add a splash of milk or a bit of cream cheese to bring back the creaminess.
