This appetizer is a perfect game day recipe. It can be assembled in advance that way all you have to do is bake it once the big game starts. It's got some spice to it from the hot sauce, but with the seasonings used, the flavor is really multi-dimensional and so tasty. Even my kids, who don't do spicy food, really enjoyed this.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use the softened butter to grease a bundt pan and set it aside.
2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, blue cheese, hot sauce and seasonings until smooth. Then stir in 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, the bacon and the chicken. Stir until everything is combined.
3

Lay the biscuits out on a flat surface. Spoon 1 1/2 tbsp. of the buffalo chicken filling onto each biscuit. Add more to each as needed until all the mixture is used up.
4

Stack about 3 or 4 biscuits together, turn them on their sides and place them into the greased bundt pan. Repeat with the remaining biscuits, arranging it all into a tight ring around the bundt pan. Drizzle the two tbsp. melted butter evenly over the top of the ring.
5

Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean. If the inside isn't completely done yet, then cover the pan with foil and continue to bake until it's cooked through. Then remove the bundt pan from the oven, sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is all melted.
6

Cool the bread ring in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan by flipping it onto a plate, then flip it back over so the cheese side is facing up. Serve warm with some blue cheese or ranch on the side for dipping.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
