# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Effortless Preparation: Requires only 15 minutes of hands-on prep time before the slow cooker does the rest.

  • Gluten-Free Friendly: Easily adaptable for gluten-free diets by choosing compliant broth and sauce.
02 -
  • Allergen Awareness: This recipe contains milk (cream cheese, cheddar, and sour cream). Always check your broth and buffalo sauce labels for hidden gluten.
