What is a good dip to make for a football game?

Question

I would like to try something different than your typical cheese dip.

Answer 1

I know canned chili sounds a little sketchy, but this dip is awesome. I can eat a whole pan myself.

1 pkg Cream cheese
2 cans Hormel beef chili
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Soften the cream cheese until spreadable. Spread over the bottom of an 11x7 baking dish. Pour the chili over the cream cheese and sprinkle with cheddar. Bake at 350 until the cheese is melted and the dip is heated thru. Serve with tortilla chips.

Answer 2

I moved to the south a couple of years ago from NY and a VERY popular dip here is Rotel dip. You can find the Rotel in your grocery stores (usually by the canned tomatoes). and the recipe is simply;
brown 1lb of ground beef and a roll of pork sausage (I like to use hot sausage, but some use all ground beef or all sausage)

drain really well and than cut up a block of velveeta cheese and add along with 2 well drained cans (very important) of rotel and stir until cheese melts and serve on top or on the side of some tortilla chips.

*If you feel it is a little to thick than add just a tad bit of milk to thin it out, because the longer it sits the thicker it will get. ENJOY!!!

Answer 3

Something fast try:

Sour Cream and Onion Dip
1 pint of Sour Cream
1 packet of French Onion Soup mix
Best if done the day before and left in the fridge overnight. Great for chips and veggies.

If you have some extra time, these are great if done the night before to let the flavors meld.

Pico de Gallo
6 plum tomatoes, seeded and cubed
1 small red onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small bunch of cilantro, leaves only roughly chopped
juice of 1 - 2 limes
salt and pepper to taste

Guacamole
3 - 4 ripe Haas avocadoes (these have dark bumpy skin. Must be semi firm. If too soft, over ripe. If too hard, not ripe enough)
2 plum tomatos, seeded and chopped
1/2 small red onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small bunch of cilantro, leaves roughly chopped
1 jalepeno pepper (if you don't like the heat, clean out the seeds and ribs) finely chopped
juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper to taste

I always make these dips and get repeated requests for them all the time. Good luck.
