This Buffalo Bleu Cheese Dip is a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer that comes together in minutes—perfect for game day, parties, or holiday gatherings.
I love football season—not only for cheering on the Green Bay Packers—but because it gives me an excuse to make easy, delicious dips. This recipe is especially handy: it takes under five minutes and uses ingredients you likely already have on hand.
The creamy mayo and sour cream combine with Frank’s-style hot sauce and crumbled bleu cheese to create a tangy, spicy dip that pairs beautifully with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or chicken wings. Make it ahead for less stress, and adjust the heat to suit your guests.

HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO BLEU CHEESE DIP
Servings: 6 • Prep time: 5 minutes • Total time: 5 minutes
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, crumbled bleu cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until evenly blended.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Top with additional crumbled bleu cheese, the chopped scallions, and a light drizzle of hot sauce for presentation.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or use as a dipping sauce for wings.
ADDITIONAL TIPS
Make ahead: This dip keeps well in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. If preparing in advance, mix the base (mayo, sour cream, hot sauce, and crumbled bleu cheese) and refrigerate. Add the extra bleu cheese, scallions, and a final drizzle of hot sauce just before serving to maintain freshness and a bright appearance.
Prefer it hotter? Increase the hot sauce by one or two tablespoons to raise the heat level. For gatherings, consider making two bowls—a milder version and a hotter version—so everyone can enjoy it.
As a wing sauce: This dip doubles as a delicious sauce for buffalo-style wings. If serving with wings, stir the scallions into the dip rather than sprinkling them on top.
KITCHEN TOOLS NEEDED
