Quick and easy dip game day dips, perfect for your next party! These tasty dip recipes have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options along with something for the carnivores as well.
This time of year, college football runs this town.
And I mean runs. this. town.
I don’t think we’ve had a single outing where football hasn’t come up so far. While football talk is beyond expected at bars and parties, we weren’t quite expecting the topic to come up [quite heatedly!] at hardware stores, Target, and even my own driveway. Our new neighbors were quick to assess our team status and classify us friends or college football frenemies.
It’s a thing.
One thing everyone can agree on, is the awesomeness of a good dip! An addictive spread can unite even the fiercest of rivals, and these recipes are up for the challenge! With vegan, vegetarian, and t-rex options, there’s a dip for everyone on this list!

Baked Seafood Dip
I guess I should describe the dip for you right? HOT, CREAMY, AND OMGCHEESY! If you ‘re a fan of seafood and cheese you’ll basically want to bathe in this dip. The veggies add fantastic flavor but are diced small enough that they could easily trick your pickiest of friends and family members.
★★★★★ “OMG. This might be one of the best recipes I’ve come across on Pinterest – this is nice restaurant quality! Just made this tonight, and hubby and I are stuffed but can’t stop eating it! We are dipping toasted ciabatta in it, but just discussed how delicious this would be over some pasta, too! Thanks so much for this fantastic recipe!” – Ashley
Chilled Veggie Dip in a Bread Bowl
This deli-style veggie dip actually tastes best made the day before — jackpot! — and saves me precious prep time the following day.
Simply whisk together the dip and pop it in the fridge for the following day. You can even slice and wash all your crudités the day before too. With everything prepped and tucked away, all you have to do is toss it all on a plate and get your snack on!
What can I say? I have a thing for dips!
Of course I can’t have a game day dip recipe post without my super awesome football cheese ball!

Aw thanks Kat! Hope you have a blast at the game this year! xoxo
I want all of them!

OMG that melty cheese. You could pretty much top anything with melted cheese and I’d love it, but that looks especially amazing.
Haha I feel the same way about cheese! Thanks Becca!
Favorite party dip would be hummus, but I’ll take any one of these!
Good choice!
I think my favorite kind of meal is the one that is made up of a bunch of different snack foods… like ALL of these dips!
ME TOO! Snack plates for life!
