Tailgate Dips to Make Your Mouth for Football Sunday

January 16, 2019 By Sharon Garofalow Leave a Comment

I dip, you dip, we dip! Dips are the best party food idea ever. They are so stinking delicious and stupid easy to make. Whether warm or cold, most people love a good dip recipe. If you’re planning on hosting a football party this year for the “big game” here are 23 tailgate dips to serve your guests. 20 plus tailgate dips for your game day partyI only share things that I love and think you will like too. This post contains affiliate links which means if you purchase through one of these links, I am compensated. 

When my kids were little, I used to throw elaborate parties. Then I came to my senses. Boy, are parties a lot of work! I’ve scaled back everything, including the food. Don’t take that the wrong way, I still serve plenty of tasty options. But I no longer serve them in cute, handmade little paper cups with a festive frilled pick.

I make sure that I am smarter when I put my menu together. I do a mix of store-bought and handmade items. And I like to round everything out with dips. Especially with football parties, since I have no real interest in what’s happening during the game, I make sure to put together a spread with some of the best tailgate dips, like I’m sharing in this post.

20+ Tailgate Dips for your Football Party

These easy tailgate dips are full of flavor and require not much more than a little stirring!

Warm and Delicious Bacon Cheese Dip – This is one of my favorite easy tailgate dips, especially if it’s a casual get together where I can post up by the food table and shovel this in my face.

Bacon Beer Cheese Dip by Thoughtfully Simple – And then my friend Tori takes Bacon Cheese dip up a notch and adds beer to it. YUM!

Feta Dill Dip A Dish of Daily Life – I’m not a huge fan of feta but think this would be really refreshing and a cool change of pace for your food table.

Spicy Jalapeno Ranch Dip by the Little Kitchen – You HAVE to have ranch. It wouldn’t be a party without it. This spicy Jalapeno Ranch would be a fun surprise.

Creamy Onion Salsa Dip by Marty’s Musings – I’m super intrigued by this recipe. It’s a mix of two great dip flavors in one! And I like that it is served with Frito’s instead of the usual potato or tortilla chip!
