So why CrockPot Barbecue Chicken Dip? Well, one of my favorite recent recipes has been my Queso Dip, which I made for the Super Bowl, and which was so delicious it didn’t actually make it until game time. It was loved by everybody, and that just makes me happy, despite having no queso for the, you know, actual game.
As delicious as that was, this Crock Pot Barbecue Chicken Dip actually takes it up a notch. Again, as I explained in my Barbecue Chicken Nachos, we are using smoked chicken in our barbecue chicken recipe. Need to deliver that smoky flavor somehow. And I added one of my new favorite types of barbecue sauce – an eastern Carolina vinegar sauce to deliver some tang. Lastly, we added some bits of bacon to bring some saltiness. I used white cheddar and monterey jack for this queso, combined with the barbecue sauce and Rotel it develops into a more of a off white yellow-ish colored queso. Throw it all into the CrockPot for two hours and out comes some gooey smoky tangy deliciousness! DaaaaaYUM!!
This CrockPot Barbecue Chicken Dip is so simple and delicious it is a must make snack for any game day gathering.
