Party dips are the unsung heroes of game days and parties. The party is about to begin. Make people happy before the big food arrives and satisfy both kids and adults.
The first dip I’m going to share with you is this Baked Reuben Dip. If you love a good Reuben sandwich, this one will satisfy all your senses. Pastrami or corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss and Gruyère cheeses, Thousand Island dressing, and a few more.
The great thing about this dip is that you can bake it in a mini slow cooker or crock pot to keep it warm if you want, but make sure you make enough, because if you put that piping hot, bubbly baking dish in front of your guests, they’ll likely eat it right away.
If you have any leftover, it will warm up perfectly the next day.
It’s the perfect way to scoop up toasted cocktail rye, rye crackers, crispy bagel chips, and even pretzels.
It’s rich, delicious, gooey, and smells like you’re walking into your favorite deli!
The next dip featured is a homemade French onion dip with caramelized onions. No matter what you buy at the store, it’s so much easier to make this dip at home.
It is rich and flavorful, with a deep flavor of amber-colored onions and a mellow sweetness.
It’s important to cook slowly and low because the onion is the main ingredient and you want it to be soft and golden brown.
Serve chilled with plain but raised potato chips, your favorite crackers, or cut vegetables for added stability. This is the kind of dip your guests will stop by for. If you have any leftovers, it’s safe and can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
Serve this impressive dip at your next gathering and you won’t be disappointed.
