These 3 game day-ready dips are perfect for your Super Bowl watch party

As soon as the final putt drops at the WM Phoenix Open on Sunday, it will be time to tune in to the biggest sporting spectacle of the year: the 2025 Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs are facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles in a bid to make history by becoming the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

And no matter who you’re rooting for this weekend, there’s one thing all good fans need to do: prepare good snacks. That’s where our roster of chefs come in. Over the last several years, Clubhouse Eats has amassed a formidable collection of recipes for everything from short ribs and hot dogs to pancakes and cocktails. But there is one game-day snack that truly reigns supreme: cheesy dip.

A good dip is a party essential: It’s delicious, easy to make, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, no matter how many attendees you’re expecting. Below, check out three cheesy dips we love, and how to make them.

3 must-make Super Bowl dips

Smoked Queso Dip

If you’re looking for an easy way to make new friends — or simply to impress the ones you already have — doling out a generous serving of Chance Cozby’s delectable smoked queso dip at your next gathering is a slam-dunk strategy.

Cozby, whose food-focused social media accounts (@3PiecesofPecan) boast more than 1.5 million followers, counts this easy-to-make concoction among his popular parking lot go-tos.

-2 lbs Velveeta Queso Blanco (or regular Velveeta works as well), cubed
-8 oz pepper jack cheese, cubed
-3 jalapeños, diced and seeded
-2 cans Rotel (original, fire- roasted or hot— whatever you prefer)
-1 can cream of jalapeno soup (Sub in cream of chicken if jalapeno is not available in your region.)
-2 tbsp barbecue rub (I use Meat Church Holy Voo Doo.)
-1/2 cup fire-roasted green chiles (for some added flavor)

Place ingredients in a large Dutch oven and put in a smoker at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. You can also prepare this dish in a slow cooker. Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos.

Kentucky Beer Cheese Dip

Another concoction courtesy of Cozby, this dip pairs well with just about any munch-worthy vessel. Cozby likes Saltines, but you can go with carrots, celery or potato chips too.

Ingredients:

-1 lb sliced sharp cheddar
-4 oz blue cheese
-1/2 stick butter
-2 cloves garlic
-1/2 cup beer
-1 tbsp Worcestershire
-2 tsp white wine vinegar
-1 tsp dry mustard
-Dash cayenne pepper
-Salt and pepper to taste

In a food processor, combine cheddar, blue cheese and butter. Pulse for one minute. Add remaining ingredients, and then pulse until fully blended.

Refrigerate for two hours. Remove and sprinkle with more cayenne pepper. Serve with your favorite crackers.

Buffalo Turkey Dip

James Syhabout, the chef and owner of two-Michelin star Commis, in Oakland, Calif., cares more about golf than he does about anything that happens on the gridiron.

But he loves throwing parties and he’s great at whipping up crowd-pleasing grub — like this delectable dip. The steps are simple, the time-investment brief. From start to finish, you’ll spend a little more than 30 minutes. —Josh Sens

Ingredients:

-1 pound ground turkey breast
-1 ounce vegetable oil
-8 ounces full fat cream cheese, cubed small
-1 cup mayonnaise
-1 cup hot sauce (Frank’s Red Hot)
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp cracked black pepper
-1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
-1 tsp smoked paprika
-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-Salt to taste

For topping:

-1 cup  crumbled blue cheese
-1/2  cup sliced scallions

-Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9-by-9-inch baking pan (or approximate size) with non-stick cooking spray.

-Cook the turkey in a medium size saucepan with vegetable oil until the meat is fully cooked and crumbled.  Drain the fat and liquid, and then return the turkey meat to the pan.

-Add the rest of the ingredients (minus the blue cheese and scallions) to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring constantly until the cream cheese has melted into the mayonnaise and hot sauce. Remove from the heat.  Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.Pour the mixture into the baking pan and cover the top with the blue cheese.  Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes, until the sides start to bubble. Set the oven to broil and allow the dip to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove it immediately and top with the sliced scallions.
