Cheesy Ranch Chicken Dip

20 ounces canned chicken breast, drained
1 cup Kraft Carbwell ranch salad dressing
1/4 cup light cream
1/4 cup chipotle hot sauce, or to taste
16 ounces cream cheese
2 pounds shredded cheddar cheese

Turn electric skillet to very low setting. Add chicken, salad dressing, hot sauce, cream, and cream cheese. Stir until well blended. Add 16 ounces shredded cheddar cheese and stir until blended. Cover; stir occasionally to prevent sticking. After about 30 minutes stir well and then spread remaining pound of cheddar cheese over top. Turn heat to about 150-200 degrees. Serve with Tostitos scoops.

NOTE: Chipotle hot sauce is VERY hot so be careful. I usually add a tablespoon or so at the time until desired heat is reached.
