While most people this time of year are preparing for Thanksgiving....my husband and I are preparing for another annual Holiday.....BEERFEST!! Every year the resort where I work, has this huge indoor festival that draws crowds of about 5,000 people! More than 50 Breweries are featured and provide samples for your 2 oz tasting glass that comes with your admission ticket. Not only is the beer incredible but so is the food, live music, & craft vendors!
Every year we have a huge group of family & friends aka fellow "Beer Connoisseur's" meet up at the house and hop on board the big yellow school bus! Mona our favorite bus driver makes sure our group gets to and from the festival safely so no one has to drive! Afterwards we head back to the house for a huge afterparty!! We set up all the usual drinking games & feast on the huge spread of food Rob & I have prepared, as well as covered dishes that friends bring to share! Today's recipe is always a crowd favorite especially with the guys! This recipe is my version, adapted from one by my friend Amy Downing. This one is so easy, and you can just set it & forget it overnight (with a timer on of course) and by morning its ready to shred! So next time you need a great party dip, give this one a try!
1 lb. - Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
16 oz. - Cream Cheese, Softened
1 Cup - Blue Cheese
2 Cups - Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1 Cup – Frank’s Red Hot
2 Tbsp - Butter
1 Can – Diced Tomatoes
2 Bags Fritos Scoops

- Add in the raw, whole, chicken breasts into the mixture and stir. Cook on Low setting for about 6 hours or until chicken is cooked through. Stir Occasionally.
