There are 2 things my family loves this time of year; hot wings and watching the big game. My children were born loving hot wings. At age two, my youngest daughter kept begging to taste my plate of hot wings. I tried to distract her with other food and protect her and my hot wings, but she absolutely would not be distracted. I cautiously let her try a small taste, thinking that the spiciness would deter her. Boy, was I wrong! My entire family loves hot wings and always have. We like to homegate for the big game. We invite some good friends over that don’t like spicy food as much as we do. I always make sure I have hot wings with cheesy cool dip at our homegating party so that my family and friends can all enjoy the food and the game.
Since I wanted to pick up a fun table cloth for the party and a few other household items, I popped over to Walmart where I could find up all the ingredients I needed along with the rest of my shopping list. I picked up Tyson wings in the Deli. They had Boneless General Tso’s wings, Bone-in Hot Wings, and Buffalo wings. I brought home the Hot Wings and Buffalo Wings.
I also picked up the ingredients for the Cheesy Cool Dip:
8 oz. Cream Cheese
8 oz. Ranch Dressing
8 oz. Shredded Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese, reserve 1/4 cup for garnishing
Mix the cream cheese, ranch dressing and shredded cheese together in a bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between heating, until the cheese is melted. Place the dip in the fridge until ready to serve.
While the cheese dip is chilling, I made place cards so that my family and friends could choose exactly which wings they wanted.
Once my friends arrived, I simply garnished the dip with about 1/4 cup shredded cheese and some chopped tomatoes.
And with about 5 total minutes of prep time, we had a homegating party worthy of the big game.
The great thing about Cheesy Cool Dip is that you can use it to tone down hot wings or Buffalo wings if they’re too spicy (my spicy adverse friends appreciate it). It’s perfect with crackers or chips, too. If you need another appetizer to serve at your party, you should try Fried Okra.
Now that you’re ready for your homegating party with Hot Wings and Cheesy Cool Dip, which team will you be rooting for?
I’m a mom of 3, a veteran and military spouse. I’ve moved into 20+ homes all around the world. My passion is helping busy people make the space and time for what’s really important to them.
Hot wings are a hit in my family too and they are a staple at our game day parties. Usually we serve ours with plain ranch or blue cheese dressing. I’ll have to give your dip a try. Thanks for the recipe!
My motto is “everything is better with cheese or bacon,” Corinne, so I had to add one or the other to our game day snacks.
That sounds SO good. My hubby and I lloooove to dip!
You had me at dip! I think I would eat just about anything with dip!
We love hot wings too.
So nice to have the flavors of homemade with a little help. I am headed there this weekend for our football fans.
Those wings looks so delicious! When I am busy, picking up some ready made snacks like these are great! The dip is a recipe that I think my family would drove!
These would be perfect for any game watching…thanks
this sounds and looks sinfully good. My son loves his hot wings so he would totally love this dip.
Oh that cool dip sounds great! Perfect to cool down your mouth when eating super spicy wings!
I love how simple this homegate menu is to put together. And your dip looks delicious!
I like the way you combined the premade chicken with your own cheese to make a delicious treat.
Mmm, it all looks so good! The dip seems like a breeze to make – definitely pinning this to try later! Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome. Hubby will love this.
Of course the dip is a cool way to bring down the heat of the wings. Why didn’t I think of that!! 🙂
That dip looks so delicious!
Great idea picking up precooked wings! So much better than cooking all day and then preparing as well!
I don’t like to fry food (too messy to clean up!), so I try to purchase it whenever I can. 🙂
These wings and dip look so good! I love that you can just grab the wings you want and go! So simple! My husband is slightly obsessed with sip and I think he’d LOVE this one! #client
This is the second cheese dip going with wings, I need to try that.
It’s a great snack combo, Maria. Can’t go wrong with cheese dip + wings in my book.
This looks like it sure was a great success for the superbowl. Thanks for sharing
I will eat wings on occasion but love the idea of having the cool dip as a side dish.
My family loves hot wings, but as I’m getting a bit older, my stomach needs the cool dip to help counter the hot wings.
