Loaded Buffalo Chicken & Potato Skin Casserole

It's funny, today I am talking about this calorie-laden heavenly dish, yet I can barely walk from the exercise regimen I did yesterday.

I guess they cancelled each other out.

The husband and I did a killer workout yesterday in our house.  We used our long hallway to do lunges, wall-sits, planks, leg lifts, sit-ups, the list goes on and on.  I can barely walk today.  It's awful, yet wonderful at the same time.

Those workouts make me feel a little better about having a small helping of this dish.  It's all about moderation.

This is the ultimate indulgent meal.  Should it really even be called a meal?  Maybe it should be an appetizer.  I don't know.  We ate it as a meal.

There, lets leave it as a meal.

Ok?

I know my brother and sister-in-law would love this dish.  They love anything with heat {although, this dish I think is pretty mild}, anything buffalo, really anything that sounds like it should be served at a bar.

Yes, we are that family that can make any bar turn out a meal.
