As you know, we love anything buffalo around here…Wings, Sliders, Soup, Meatballs and we can’t forget these two dips. So when I saw this Crock Pot Buffalo Ranch Chicken Nachos recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker to the Rescue, I had a “why didn’t I think of that?!” moment. I knew it was going on the menu!

Crock Pot Buffalo Ranch Chicken Nachos Notes:
- These Crock Pot Buffalo Ranch Chicken Nachos would be a great recipe for a beginner since it is so easy. It is also great for those long-time cRockers that love a delicious, easy meal.
- The recipe says that it makes 6-8 servings, so I assume they mean it as an appetizer. However, in this house, we had it as our meal. So if you are using it for a main dish, you will get 3-4 servings out of it.
- The reheated leftovers were deeeelicious, so this would be a perfect two night recipe for anyone who only needs to cook for one or two people.
- I used my 2.5-quart polka dot crock pot for this recipe. The smaller portions worked perfectly for her smaller size. Hmmm…I’m starting to use this one more, so I guess I should name her. How ’bout Polly? Let me know what you think in the comments below. Or give me your suggestion!

Would there be any adjustments to the recipe if I double it for a potluck?
Hi Alisa!
I have not tried doing a double batch yet, but I would think the only adjustment would be to use a larger crock pot. You will also want to watch it closely the first time you make it so you can make sure the timing isn’t any different. Enjoy!
