For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles on top of the casserole before baking. Feel free to adjust the amount of Buffalo wing sauce to control the level of spiciness. If you don't have corn chips on hand, crushed tortilla chips or even Ritz crackers make a great substitute. To prevent the corn chips from burning, you can add them during the last 10 minutes of baking. For a creamier casserole, use a full-fat cream cheese and don't be afraid to add a little extra ranch dressing.
