Chili Cheese Dip Recipe

Posted by |

baby dealsMy husband loves football, and I grew up in a family where “the game” was always on TV on Sundays. While I'm not a huge football fan myself, I do love Superbowl Sunday. Whether we spend the day at my parents house with my side of the family or at James' parents' house with my in-laws, the day always means party food!

Gathering around the television to watch a football game and nosh on some yummy snacks is what makes football fun for me! My husband's family always has sandwiches and tons of snacks that get rolled out one after the other throughout the game, while my family tends to snack on appetizers throughout the first have, indulge in coney-style hot dogs during half time then eat dessert throughout the second half. I even remember the first dish I contributed to the Superbowl party in my family: Chili Cheese Dip! Since then I've moved onto more complex recipes, but this simple and tasty recipe is a perfect crowd-pleaser for any football game:

Chili Cheese Dip Recipe

2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese (softened)
1 15-ounce can of no-bean chili (I like Hormel)
16-ounces finely shredded co-jack cheese
Tortilla chips

Spread cream cheese on the bottom of a oven-safe dish. I use an 8×8 square but a 7×11 works, too! Spread a layer of chili over the cream cheese. Finish with a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 325 for about 20 minutes, until bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips. Note: this can also be microwaved for about 3-5 minutes until thoroughly hot, but it looks much better if it's baked!

    A football tradition I would like to start is a huge Super Bowl Sunday GAMEDAY with buffalo wings and tons of other food. Enjoying laughs with friends and family as the opposing team loses…lol

  16. Christina Smith says

    We will probably start doing yummy foods like the chili cheese dip you mentioned!

  21. Tracy Robertson says

    Our tradition is that my man watches football and I go online and have fun!

  28. Lori Hart says

    I’m from the SF bay area. My sis and I are on opposite sides of the bay area football teams. I’m a 49er fan and she likes the Raiders. Every year when they play against each other, we have a bet. One year loser had to wear the opposing team’s T shirt publically for a day. Loved seeing her in red 🙂

  31. Vicki Wurgler says

    we usually have alot of snacks, popcorn, tacos, makings for subs. And then sit in our recliners and cheer for our team

  32. Katy P says

    We don’t really have a tradition- but we love to eat that cheese dip you gave the recipe for. I always cook it in a slow cooker- your way sounds better!

  39. nan says

    football season means no other show is allowed to be watch while football game is on. Notre Dame games get extra special attention and love (husbands favorite team)

  45. Erica C. says

    Every thanksgiving morning, my guy’s old high school football team plays a football game…and every year we go to cheer them on.

  46. leslie says

    On game days, we all get our jerseys on early in the morning! Even our dog has one, and we all get ready for the game. Go Saints!!

    Thanks!

  47. Ashley H says

    I don’t watch alot of football. Just the super bowl at a friend’s party every year.

  48. Liza says

    Our tradition (which I like) is that we’re all together in the same room chatting and watching the game…even those who don’t pay much attention to football come to read, knit, chat, whatever. It’s together time disguised as a football game!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    A tradition I’d like to start is bringing everyone together for an entire day of fun & food, whether they all watch the game or not, I want to add more friends & family time to my life, and the lives of my loved ones.

  58. Sandy says

    My scottie dog has to wear his lucky Ohio State collar on game day. The one time I forgot to put it on him we lost!

  60. Jennifer R says

    Our family football tradition is to watch as many games as possible for our favorite NFL team in the comfort of our own family room and snack on yummy snacks while we are doing it.

  62. FABI says

    One of our traditions is to wear the eye black (strips of black underneath the eyes) and jerseys. And not give up our seats on the couch. At whatever cost.

  70. angie says

    We watch every…and I do mean EVERY Dallas Cowboys games with surround sound on loud, hotwings and beer in laps!!!

  71. loni says

    My husband and I play Fantasy Football each year and in addition to the prize of the league, we have our own side bet going on where whomever ranks higher between the two of us at the end of the year pays for dinner for the family (winner’s choice of restaurant).
