Ingredient substitutions: You can swap the buffalo sauce with barbecue sauce for a sweeter flavor or opt for a different cheese like mozzarella for a milder taste. Optional variations include adding finely chopped celery or carrots for extra crunch, or mix in some black beans for added texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
