Vegetarian Easy Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

This creamy, spicy dip bakes up bubbling at the edges with a golden, melty cheddar top that's impossible to resist. Cream cheese and sour cream whip into a rich, tangy base, while garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous pour of cayenne-based hot sauce bring the heat that makes this dip so addictive. Sharp cheddar folds throughout for gooey pockets of flavor in every scoop, and a sprinkle of blue cheese adds a punchy, tangy edge if you're into that classic buffalo pairing. Thinly sliced celery on the side gives a cool, crisp contrast to all that spicy richness. Scoop it up with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that disappears fast at any gathering. It's a satisfying, fuss-free option to add to a vegetarian spread without missing out on game-day flavor.
