Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces meatless chicken nuggets
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1 bunch celery sticks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the meatless chicken nuggets according to the package instructions until crisp, about 10 minutes. Once baked, allow them to cool slightly, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing mix, and chopped meatless chicken nuggets to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fold in half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese, mixing gently.
Spread the mixture into a baking dish (approximately 9x9 inches) in an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining sharp cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top for garnish.
Serve hot with tortilla chips and celery sticks on the side for dipping.
