Top 5 Game Day Dips
There are good dips, there are great dips, and then there are the kind of dips that have you pinching together the remains of tortilla chips to get just a little bit more. You know the kind of dip I’m talking about. The one that has everyone at the potluck begging for the recipe. I put together this list of delightful dips to help you find your next favorite. No matter what you’re dipping, there’s something here to make you feel like a hero next game day!
This cheesy smoked dip is totally addictive and perfect for game day. This loaded Smoked Queso is a pan full of melty, meaty goodness. Smooth American melting cheese is mixed with smoked sausage, onions, peppers, chilis, cream cheese, and even more cheese to make a dip that you just can’t stop eating. Be sure to buy the sturdy tortilla chips for this smoked queso. You’re going to need them!
Laced with marinated artichokes, silky spinach, and loads of fresh garlic, this creamy, cheesy Smoked Spinach Artichoke Dip works as a dip or appetizer. You’ll love it with a roll of your favorite buttery crackers, but it’s just as good right out of the dish with a spoon in front of the fridge at midnight. No judgment here. There are 2 kinds of vegetables in the mix, so this ooey-gooey dip is a borderline salad.
Smoky, creamy, and seasoned with the bold flavors of my Fiesta Rub, this Mexican Street Corn Salsa is a sleeper hit. With grilled corn, tangy Cotija cheese, and a kick of lime zest, this salsa strikes the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and refreshing. Whether you’re scooping it up with chips or piling it on tacos, this irresistible dish is a guaranteed crowd favorite. Plus, it comes together quickly, so it’s perfect for a last-minute game day snack.
It’s cool, creamy, dripping with herby flavor, and this Homemade Ranch Dip is just begging to be dipped with pretty much everything. This smooth and tangy dressing works as beautifully with wings as it does drizzled over a green salad. Get ready to kiss the store-bought stuff and packet mixes goodbye forever. When you see how easy and delicious homemade ranch is, you’ll never have it any other way.
This isn’t your average party dip, but a flavor masterpiece for pickle lovers everywhere. A smooth blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayo creates the perfect creamy base for the dill pickles to add a briny crunch. My Fish & Veggie Rub amplifies the pickle flavor while adding a savory depth and subtle heat. This stuff is amazing for veggie sticks and chips, but finds its true glory when dipped with some deep-fried pickle chips.
