4 Easy Chip and Dip Recipes You’ll Love!
There is little I love more than party food, and one of my favorites is chips and dip! A creamy dip and the crunch of a chip is the perfect complement to any party! And with the beginning of college football season upon us, it’s the perfect time to share these four super easy chip and dip recipes with your family!
Ranch Dip Three Ways
Plain Ranch Dip (Hidden Valley Ranch Recipe)
1 16 oz carton sour cream
1 packet Ranch Dip mix (be sure to get dip mix not dressing mix)
Mix well. For best taste, let refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. Serve with veggies or chips.
Cheesy Ranch Dip (with or without bacon)
Use the recipe above.
Add 1 cup of shredded cheese
If desired add 1/3 to ½ cup of bacon pieces (home cooked or bag, not jarred Bacos – they are too hard!)
Ranch Spinach Dip
Thaw a box of frozen spinach.
Squeeze it extra dry until all the water is gone and mix it in well.
You could also combine this with the cheesy recipe for a cheesy spinach ranch dip.
Cheesy Beefy Rotel Dip
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1 can Rotel (Mild, Original or Hot according to you tastes)
Brown beef and drain. Cut the Velveeta into cubes. Add the cubes and can of Rotel to the pan or crockpot. Heat until the cheese is melted. Stir in the beef. Keep it stirred so that it doesn’t stick. Serve with tortilla chips.
Variations: use sausage instead of beef or leave out the meat and have a spicy cheese dip.
Store Bought Salsa Made Better
Take store bought salsa to the next level!
Buy a jar of your favorite brand of salsa and add any combination of the following:
freshly diced tomatoes, chopped purple onion, finely chopped cilantro, seeded/chopped cucumber, and a squeeze of lime juice! Serve with tortilla chips.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
2 cans chunk chicken
2 packages cream cheese
¾ cup buffalo sauce
¾ cup ranch (or 1 cup if you want it more mild)
2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese (or cheese you prefer)
Mash up the chicken to shred it. In a pot, add the chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch, and cream cheese. Stir together until well-mixed. Add the cheese and mix in. Transfer to a slow cooker. Serve with tortilla chips.
Variations:
- If you don’t want to use a slow cooker, you can transfer the dip to a baking dish and add more cheese to the top. Bake at about 350 until the cheese is melted.
- You can add chives or blue cheese crumbles to garnish this dip if you like those flavors.
- You can also serve with celery or crackers.

I love the ranch dip packets, and adding cheese and bacon sounds excellent! Bonus spluge – we have paired creamy ranch dips with seasoned waffle fries to dip instead of tortilla chips…yum!!
All these look amazing!!
One of my favorites is the buffalo chicken. But be sure-any dip will do for me!
I love most any dip as well! Party foods are so good!
Yum! Dip! I’m trying to decide which one to make!
Chips and dips add so much to a party!
They do! They are one of my favorite party foods!
