    WHAT GOES WELL WITH BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS?

    Since buffalo sauce is spicy, it's best when served with a creamy dressing to cool things down.

    Buffalo chicken is traditionally served with blue cheese dressing, but I also like a combination of crumbled blue cheese and ranch dressing. And buffalo chicken is ALWAYS served with carrots and celery sticks!

    Whether you plan to make these Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Meatballs for dinner or for your next party, I promise you're going to love them! And if you happen to have any leftovers...they're easy to re-heat and just as delicious the second time around

    Ok. So I know I was just complaining about the snow...and the fact that I was truly convinced spring would never come to Wisconsin...but today I have to take all that back. Because today it's 50 degrees! And sunny! And definitely very spring-like.

    And suddenly I'm feeling ready to do all things outdoors. Like the zoo, and the park, and a backyard cookout, and a Brewers game.

    And honestly? Part of me feels like we should do it ALL THIS WEEKEND. Because living in Wisconsin, you never know what next week will bring.

    The good news? Summer really is just around the corner, and there really will be plenty of time to do all the fun things. And these Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Meatballs would be the perfect addition to any or all of the fun!

    There's just something about buffalo chicken recipes that's perfect for a crowd. Between the spicy buffalo sauce and the creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing...it's like a flavor explosion! And it's ALWAYS a hit.

    Of course, we love buffalo chicken appetizers, like this Southwest Buffalo Chicken Dip and these Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups. But it also makes an amazing meal! Buffalo Chicken Pizza Cups? Creamy Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup? You can't go wrong. And these Buffalo Chicken Meatballs are no exception.
