Ottakee Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Next Thursday we are having a dip potluck at work. Just a small group of 6 of us. No food allergies/intolerances. I was thinking of a crab Rangoon dip with wonton strips but am open to other ideas. Can be warm or cold, sweet or savory, just needs to be easy and transport well. We can put in oven, crock pot, fridge or microwave as needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Super easy, can be doubled or tripled, people always seem to love it: Soften an 8 oz package of cream cheese to room temperature. Open a can of minced clams. Chopped work but minced are better. Drain, reserving liquid. Measure 3 tablespoons of the clam juice into a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 tsp Worchestire sauce (no idea how to spell that, sorry) And 2 tsp lemon juice, bottled is fine. Sprinkle heavily with garlic powder, and add 3 generous pinches of white pepper. Stir thoroughly. Stir in the reserved clams. Put the cream cheese block in and mix thoroughly with a big fork. If you want it soupier after it is well mixed, add a little more clam juice. I usually end up adding another half tablespoon or so. Refrigerate until serving, but this is good cold or at room temperature. I like to eat it with barbecued potato chips or wheat thins best, but any potato chip is good with it. I don’t much like it with corn or tortilla chips though. Seems to clash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraha Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) https://princesspinkygirl.com/brownie-batter-dip/ served with pretzels. This is always a big hit and super easy another easy one- refried beans with salsa and cream cheese Gold Star dip- cream cheese topped with Gold Star (or whatever chili you like) and topped with cheddar cheese. I make in a pie plate and bake. Also can be reheated in the microwave Edited December 17, 2023 by saraha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 One of our favorites: Soften a block of cream cheese Spread the cream cheese around the bottom of a 8x8 glass dish or something oven safe. Top with a jar of Newman's mango or peach salsa Top that with cheddar jack or pepper jack cheese Bake until happy and bubbly in the oven serve with tortilla chips (tostitos multigrain scoops are really good with this one) Easy and everyone loves it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athena1277 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Bean dip and tortilla chips. Mix a can of refried beans and a taco seasoning packet together. Spread evenly in an 8x8 casserole dish. Add a layer of sour cream. Top with cheddar cheese and bake until the warm and the cheese is melted. I don’t have a recipe, but chocolate hummus with pretzel chips is really good if you want something sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Yogurt cheese with lots of chopped up mint leaves and shallots mixed in makes a great dip for pita chips. Edited December 17, 2023 by Carol in Cal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) We love this. Saute onion and chorizo or other spicy sausage. Stir in smoked paprika. Add in sliced potato and cover with chicken stock/broth. Simmer until potato is very soft. Add spinach and stir. Puree, and add water if necessary. Serve warm. It freezes well too.

math teacher Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I don't have a recipe for this, but I just had the most amazing dip at snack day at school on Friday. There were torn pieces of rye bread and the dip was a creamy concoction with pureed corned beef in it. That's all I could detect, but I'm going to have to find out how to make it.It was delicious!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Kate Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) My family loves buffalo chicken dip, served with tortilla chips. I don’t really have a recipe, but I cook a couple chicken breast’s in the instant pot and shred. Then I mix in a block of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 1/2 cup red hot sauce, and some shredded cheddar cheese. Top with more shredded cheddar cheese and bake until bubbly. Yummmm!!

It makes it a pretty pink color and adds a hint of fruit flavor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
