30+ Easy Dip Recipes to Keep You and Your Guests Happy! These party dip recipes are perfect for Super Bowl football parties, holiday parties, or when you want a great snack including savory and sweet dips!
Let’s be honest… there’s something incredibly satisfying about dipping something yummy into a dip and getting the perfect coating for that first bite.
There truly is a dip for every moment in time. While we often see dips at parties, John and I like to prepare dip platters at home while watching the latest game or wanting a snack before the next meal.
Dips even adhere to seasons. Cold dips are refreshing during the warmer months, while warm ones are comforting and pleasant.
We use our Crock Pot to make our warm dips. The set-it-and-forget-it method of slow cooker dips makes it easy for us to serve ourselves or a crowd.
From savory dips ready for tailgate season and summer barbecues to dessert dips that scratch that itch for a sweet treat, we’ve got you covered A-Z.
You’ll need the following essentials to put together most of these recipes:
- Cream Cheese: This is a must-have for our sweet and non-sweet dips.
- Sour Cream: Sour cream adds creaminess and tang to our savory dips.
- Velveeta Cheese: This genius ingredient gives our queso dips that queso-like quality.
- Cool Whip: Cool Whip forms the base of many of our dessert dips. It is delightfully versatile, giving an airiness and creaminess to any sweet craving.
- Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis: We love Ro-Tel’s zesty tomato and green chili flavor.
Easy Savory Dip Recipes
We love serving amazing savory dips with pita chips, tortillas chips, and veggies including red peppers, celery, carrot sticks. This list includes classic dip recipes and fun new ideas for your Super Bowl Party!
Pair these savory dips with bowls of guacamole, salsa, and hummus.
Garnish with fresh herbs, shredded cheddar cheese, or bacon bits.

Meat Lovers Crock Pot Queso Dip
Paprika, cumin, cayenne, and chili powder add pleasant warmth and flavor to this meaty and cheesy dip. John and I debated calling this a Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Queso Dip to show how much cheese is in this spiced-up dip.

Velveeta Rotel Dip
All you need to do to create this savory Velveeta dip is brown some ground beef and mix all ingredients in a skillet over heat. The slow cooker option makes this melty appetizer even more effortless.
7 Layer Taco Dip
Seven-layer dips are a tailgating or home-gating must-have that allows guests to pile on what they want on their plates, whether all or a few layers. While this Mexican-inspired recipe is vegetarian, you can add an eighth layer of seasoned ground beef if you’re hankering for a helping of meat.
Fiesta Ranch Dip
Rotel tomatoes and green chilis turn four ordinary ingredients - ranch dressing mix, sour cream, corn, and shredded cheese - into a Southwest-inspired veggie and tortilla chip dip. To meet continued snacking needs, leftovers refrigerate very well, although we don’t recommend freezing since dairy doesn’t freeze well. Serve with corn chips, tortilla chips, cold cuts, or Frito scoops.
Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip
There’s something magical about no-fuss dips that come together by dumping ingredients into a bowl and mixing them around. Cheesy, meaty, and tangy from Hidden Valley Ranch Mix, this flavor-filled dip turns into a quick dinner or appetizer when served with crackers or tortilla chips.

Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip
This Labor Day-ready dip is made extra tangy and bold with Miracle Whip. We ran out of baguette slices the first time we made this, so be sure to have enough loaves on hand when you serve it for a group.
Crock Pot Bacon Blue Cheese Dip
This one is for our blue cheese lovers. Tangy and pungent blue cheese makes this cheesy dip rich and adds a hint of color next to the bacon bits. Serve this yummy dip with toasted baguettes or crackers, and add chopped pecans for added crunch.

Bacon Cheeseburger Crock Pot Dip
Change up dip time with this yummy five-ingredient dip that tastes like a deconstructed bacon cheeseburger. This is one of my husband’s favorites to snack on while he watches the Seahawks play during football season. Feel free to use bacon bits in place of cooking fresh bacon.

3 Ingredient Hot Chocolate Dip
There’s something pleasantly nostalgic about dipping a cookie, graham cracker, or fruit into a dessert dip.

Add a few drops of peppermint extract to make it festive for a holiday party.

Favorite Kitchen Tools
Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago, we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on, and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then, we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
Microwave Silicone cover - I swear by these lid covers to help prevent butter splatters when melting butter in the microwave. I have had way too many butter explosions while baking. These lid covers help keep the butter in the bowl and not on the roof of your microwave.
Crockpot - We suggest using a crockpot that has a digital timer that automatically switches the slow cooker to warm after a set amount of time. This helps make sure your party dips cook perfectly and you don't have to stress about what time it is going to be done.
Mix n Chop - We use the mix n chop to break up the sausage and love it.
Vegetable chopper - This is a huge time saver for chopping veggies.
