1 can black beans drained and rinsed

1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles

1/2 cup chopped onion 3 cloves garlic minced

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1/2 cup chicken broth

8 oz cream cheese cubed

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  2. Pour in white beans, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, onion, garlic, and ranch seasoning. Add buffalo sauce and chicken broth, then gently stir.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
