Ingredients

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix, divided
1 cup mayonnaise

I made these over the weekend for a football party. Everyone loved them. They were easy to put together. I prepared everything in advance and put together just before I was going to leave to ensure they were hot when I got the host's house. They went quickly for sure. Also paired with some celery and carrots because the dip was great. I did add the blue cheese. I will definitely make again! Thank you for sharing!

When I first made the ranch dressing portion I thought it seemed wayyy to thin. After sitting in the fridge for about 30 minutes, it thickened right up. I used olive oil mayo and it tasted just fine :) Instead of cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese, I used half cheddar half mozzarella (it's what I had at home). I also made the bites a tad bigger. Otherwise, I did this exactly as written. Tasted great! I really liked the topping, and making the "dip" really helped lower the heat. I'll be making these again.

Recipe sounds wonderful. I was thinking about using the Rhodes frozen dinner rolls in place of the pizza dough and adding some diced celery and onion to the meat mixture.Rating 5 stars only because they look good and easy to make.

Delicious. Just made a trial batch. I only got 18 out of the dough, but I might have made them a bit bigger. I love ranch but the family not so much. Next time I would leave off the ranch dressing and only use the Parmesan for the topping.

I made this last weekend for my Buffalo wing loving hubster. He loved this and we will be making this again.The only thing that I did with it is celery sticks and to dip with it.Wondered if maybe you couldn't chop up the celery and add it in for crunch?

Someone brought these to a meeting and we loved devouring them. I will be making these today for a birthday party. They are a perfect finger food.

I made this recipe for our youth group meeting and the kids loved it. Spicy but not too much especially when dipped in the ranch dressing. Had to make a 2nd batch we ran out so quickly.
