What’s the quickest way to turn any casual get-together into a party? Put a big bowl of dip on the table and watch people gather! A hot, cheesy dip always gets attention, but a cool and creamy one disappears just as fast. And the best part is how easy these party dip recipes are to pull together, whether friends drop by last minute or you're planning your annual Super Bowl spread.
Here, you'll find a list of the very best dip recipes in Ree Drummond's repertoire. There are bubbly baked dips, refreshing salsa recipes, easy slow-cooker dips, cream cheese dips, and even a few dessert dips to satisfy your sweet tooth. For classic fan favorites, look no further than classic spinach dip, French onion dip, and spicy buffalo chicken dip as part of your game day food spread. (They really do make the best Super Bowl dips!)
If you're hosting a fancier occasion, the hot crab dip is a sophisticated treat that's incredibly easy to put together; but if it's just you and some friends, you can never go wrong with a big bowl of creamy, dreamy queso—a Drummond family favorite! For serving, all you need is a big platter of homemade chips, crisp veggie sticks, apple slices, pita wedges, or hunks of good, crusty bread. Heck, you can end the party with a few sweet dessert dips. All of them are good down to last bite.

Pepper Jelly and Cream Cheese Dip
C.W. Newell
Pepper jelly on top of a warm, bubbly cream cheese base is the fastest way to get everyone crowding the crackers! Cheddar and pepper jack melt right in, then the sweet heat of the jelly does the rest.
Cranberries and jalapeños make the prettiest topper for a fluffy cream cheese-and-sour-cream base. It's bright-tasting from lime and cilantro, and it disappears quickly when served with buttery crackers.
Marinated artichokes, a handful of baby spinach, and a cup of queso blanco turn into a hot dip in about ten minutes. Serve it with tortilla chips or pita chips and watch it vanish.
When you need Buffalo flavor without turning on the oven, stir together chicken salad, Frank’s, and crumbled blue cheese. Put out celery and chips and you have an instant crowd-pleaser!
Pickled beets give this goat cheese dip its color and toasted walnuts make it more than a pretty bowl. A quick whirl in the food processor and it’s ready for veggie sticks!
Got a can of white beans? Blend it with sun-dried tomatoes (and a little of their oil) plus lemon zest and juice for a smooth, savory dip. It’s a great one to park next to pita wedges and crunchy veggies.
If you're a pickle person, you’re going to want the bowl of chips close by. Sour cream and cream cheese get blended with pickle juice, fresh dill, and chopped dill pickle chips for a tangy dip that holds up to scooping.
No campfire required: Chopped milk chocolate melted with warm cream becomes the base, and marshmallows bake up golden on top. Graham crackers are a must, but pretzels are pretty great here too!
The great thing about this recipe is that you can make the chili in advance or use leftovers if you already have some stashed in your fridge or freezer. Sprinkling pico de gallo on top adds a burst of added freshness.
It's a classic for a reason! Rotel dip only takes 20 minutes to pull together, and the result is a melty and meaty snack with a slightly smokey kick thanks to chipotle chile powder.
Extra cheesy dip, coming right up! All you have to do is pop everything into your slow cooker and come back a few hours later. It's got cream cheese, pepper jack, parmesan, and feta mixed into it.
It's layers of tastiness, all in one skillet. Ranch-style beans, smoky enchilada sauce, and creamy cheese are topped with tomato, onion, cilantro, avocado, and more cheese to be scooped up with tortilla chips.
Transform the beloved brunch cocktail into a delectable dip that'll start the party early. It starts with a tangy blend of cream cheese and tomato paste, then adds a touch of celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice, and crispy seasoned bacon.
Made with cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise, and flavored with artichokes, cherry peppers, and parmesan, this mouth-watering dip is the perfect mix of creamy and spicy.
Take it from Ree: "Oh my word, this cheesy, perfect dip." The caramelized onions and bacon make it irresistible. Bake until it's bubbly and lightly browned, then top it with parsley and serve with hunks of bread.
If you're planning a game day get together, little plastic cups are beyond perfect for serving your guests individually. Once you've spooned the dip into each container, top them with bacon, cheddar and a little dill. Don't forget the potato chips!
It takes just 20 minutes to make this healthy dip that consists of cannellini beans blended up with garlic, shallot, fresh herbs, and some lemon juice. It's similar to hummus, but even smoother and creamier.
Dreamy dip alert! To start, tangy goat cheese is whipped with sour cream into a smooth consistency. As for the topping, that's pancetta cooked down until crisp and tossed with toasted panko breadcrumbs and parsley.
This cheesy dip has everything you love about the classic sandwich, including corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Serve it with rye chips for a full sandwich experience!
