How to make buffalo chicken dip stuffed mini peppers
- Make the buffalo chicken dip – use this recipe to make the best buffalo chicken dip you’ve ever had in your life
- Prep the peppers – clean the peppers, cut them in half length-wise, and remove all the seeds. Keeping the stems attached is optional, but they make for a great built-in handle for holding the pepper.
- Stuff the peppers – add 1-2 tablespoons of the dip into each of the pepper halves. Make sure to press down and fill all the nooks and crannies of the pepper. Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake – the peppers can technically be enjoyed once they’re stuffed, but to add a lovely roasted flavor and melt the cheese, bake for 10-15 minutes in a 375º F oven.
- Enjoy! These peppers can be eaten by themselves, dipped in ranch or sour cream, and garnished with lime, jalapenos, or green onions.
