12 Favorite Super Bowl Dip Recipes

Five-Onion Dip

You know that dip you loved as a child? You sprinkled the dehydrated onion mix into sour cream, opened a bag of chips, and were in heaven. Here’s a modern twist made by sautéing five types of onions—Vidalia, yellow, shallots, leeks, and garlic—very slowly, until the natural sugars caramelize. Each type of onion adds its own flavor. The dip can be made a day ahead of time but is best several hours after preparing.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

This easy and delicious Spinach Artichoke Dip won first place in The 2015 Old Farmer’s Almanac Recipe Contest!

Nacho Layer Dip

The only bad part of eating nachos is getting those chips without any toppings. Our solution? Make a separate nacho topping dip, and take as much as you want each time! Never go topping-less again!

Guacamole

It’s guacamole—what else needs to be said? Oh, don’t even think about buying the packaged stuff. Fresh is easy and so much tastier!

Cheesy Sausage Dip

It may sound strange at first, but this Cheesy Sausage Dip is a regular favorite at our parties. Try it yourself!

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Spicy, chunky, and oh-so cheesy! Buffalo chicken dip is a natural addition to any Super Bowl party.

Crab Rangoon Dip

This crab dip recipe won third prize in The 2015 Old Farmer’s Almanac Recipe Contest! Congratulations to winner Debbie Reid from Clearwater, Florida.

Hummus

This chickpea dip is so easy. Just make it once, and you’ll never forget it!

Creamy Chutney Dip

This dip captures the warm, spicy curry flavor in a cream cheese base, and sets it off with mango chutney and crunchy almond.

Roasted Butternut and Red Pepper Dip

Now, this is a cool winter dip! We want to dip everything in this smooth, creamy, and slightly spicy concoction.

Ranch Dressing

For dipping crisp veggies (or chicken tenders and wings), this ranch dressing is far more delicious than grocery store bottles.

Garlicky Eggplant

Similar to the popular Middle Eastern dip called baba ganoush, this should be served with crisp pita chips or sesame crackers. Smoked paprika adds an exotic flavor.

Game On!

Eat well and enjoy the big game!
