If you're like me, you love cozying up on the couch on Sundays and just lounging around while that good ole' NFL plays on in the background. With every good football game comes the snacks. But what snacks are the best and most appropriate for this traditional Sunday occasion?
1. Buffalo Chicken Dip
Skyline dip is a Cincinnati thing for sure. If you're from Cincinnati and skyline dip isn't on your coffee table on Sundays or at your tailgate before the Bengals game, something is wrong. Even if you aren't from Cincy, you should DEFINITELY give Skyline dip a try. I promise you it will not disappoint.
-8 ounces of cream cheese
-1 package (13 oz.) of frozen Skyline chili or 1 can (15 oz.) of Skyline chili
-8 ounces of shredded cheese
-Tortilla chips
3. Guacamole
Guacamole should be at every party/event, in my opinion. There's nothing a little guac can't fix. I have been using this recipe for years and now my family makes a special request that it will indeed make an appearance at the next family party. Get your avocados together and let's make some guac!
-2 avocadoes
-1/4 red onion
-1/2 tsp. of salt
-1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
-2 tbsp. of finely chopped cilantro
-1/2 of a small jalapeño (optional)
-Tortilla chips
4. Beer Cheese Dip
Closely related to queso but with more of a football vibe. This cheese dip is phenomenal for just about any situation. You can pair this dip with chips, pretzels, etc. The list goes on!
-2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
-2/3 cup of beer (your choice, alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
-1 envelope of ranch dressing mix
-2 cups of shredded cheese (your choice)
-Your choice of what you use to dip!
5. 7-Layer Taco Dip
This is a fan favorite in my household! My mom's recipe for this taco dip is out of this world. Especially if you like Mexican food, this dip is for you!
-1 can (16 oz.) refried beans
-1 tbsp. taco seasoning mix
-1 cup of sour cream
-1 cup of salsa
-1 cup of shredded lettuce
-1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese
-2 tbsp. of sliced pitted ripe olives
-Tortilla chips
You can even add your own twist to the dip by adding in some homemade guac into the layers!
