Some of the best, most delicious dips, perfect for tailgating at the stadium or serving at your next game day party!
I don’t know about you, but the food is definitely my favorite thing about game day. And when it comes to football food, you really can’t beat a delicious dip.
From queso to salsa to cheesy dips and guacamole, this recipe collection has you covered. There are even a few dessert dips to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Some are even healthy, and of course, some aren’t healthy at all. But every dip is sure to be a hit at your next game day gathering. My favorites include the Italian Hoagie dip and the homemade guacamole.
And of course my boys love chips and queso of any kind! Like I said, you’re sure to find a satisfying appetizer here to serve your friends and family on Super Bowl Sunday, or any day of the year.
But first, a few tips for entertaining on game day.
BEST GAME DAY ENTERTAINING TIPS
- Focus on finger foods and small bites that are easy to eat anywhere. Sandwiches, chips, wraps, soups and chili are also great choices. Try to offer at least one vegetarian and one gluten free option.
- Canned and bottled beverages are the easiest way to serve drinks. Use a large metal tub filled with ice to keep drinks cold, or just bring your cooler in from the garage.
- Make sure you know how to watch or stream the game ahead of time, and double check what time the kickoff is. If possible, show the game on multiple televisions.
- Disposable plates and napkins will make clean-up easy. Just make your garbage can and recycling bin are easy to find.
- Prep as much as you can ahead of time, and don’t do everything yourself! Ask guests to pitch in and bring their favorite game day snack or treat.
