The Four Dips That Disappear First on Game Day

Hey Reader,

Football season is back, which means my kitchen counter is once again a snack table. Nobody in my house except me cares what's happening on the field, but they do want to know what dips I'm making each weekend to snack on.

These four dips are the ones I make most, and none of them is complicated. Make one for a crowd, or make all four and call it dinner. I won't judge.

Four Dips My Friends Rave About

My Non-Traditional 7 Layer Dip takes out the bits I don't like and adds in the ones we love for a perfect appetizer. It travels well, and it has enough oomph that you can justify eating it for dinner.

​Homemade Nacho Cheese Sauce takes six ingredients, zero Velveeta, and comes out perfect every single time. Keep it mild for the kids or add a little heat if that's your preference.

​Buffalo Chicken Dip is a classic for a reason. My mom always asks for it, and my husband begs for leftovers, so I just make a double batch from the start.

​Hot Bacon Cheddar Dip is rich, ultra creamy, and has bacon in every scoop. Put out crackers, toasted bread rounds, and veggies to give plenty of options for people to justify trying just one more taste.

Start with the Nacho Cheese Sauce if you want the biggest reaction for the least effort, then work your way down the list. What kinds of dip do you love to make?
