@robson has to be salted kettle chips for sure. If we’re talking tortilla not so much. But that’s what I made yesterday and it was delicious with the kettle!
Dog food dip: in a microwaveable dish spread 1 block of cream cheese, then 1 can of chili without beans, top with shredded cheese. Nuke it until cheese is melted.
@edguyver14 my friend used to make this with taco meat for the canned chili. i just called it “meat dip.” later in life, my BIL (but not at the time) would make something similar with salsa, sour cream, and taco meat…and mixed it all together. i called it bachelor dip. it looked horrendous but dang if it didn’t taste good.
@robson One can of minced or chopped clams per 8 ounces of sour cream. Drain (and save for other use) the clams but don’t dry; you want a little of the juice to remain. Mix well, adding garlic powder, onion powder, a very small splash of worcestorshire sauce, paprika (we prefer sweet), white pepper, and season salt to taste. Mix well, let it sit at least a couple of hours in the fridge before stirring it again to reincorporate the juices that might have separated, then serve. You’ll need to do that again if it sits for a while again. Too much clam juice makes the flavor better but you’ll be stirring it back in way too often.
@duodec i have never heard of cream cheese in clam dip! i agree that would squash the clam flavor and the tang from the sour cream. we like it with chips too
@jerk_nugget Don’t know the ingredients; its been years since I tried any store bought; I just remember it tasting kind of cream cheesy (and I like cream cheese, just not in Grandfather’s clam dip!)
Not a dip but an alternate for Ritz crackers. Long strip of luncheon meat ham on the cracker, place a thin square of cream cheese (pat of butter sized) on the ham, place some small daubs of anchovy paste on the cheese, then wrap the ham over the cheese/anchovy. Eat it whole. That was my Dad’s variation on another Grandfather special occasion treat.
@duodec that sounds good! my aunt used to do something similar, all the same except it was a cornichon instead of the anchovy. sometimes she would make a giant version, putting the cream cheese over a big slice of ham, and then several cornichons or a whole pickle, roll it up like a cigar, and slice it crosswise into coins, which you could put on crackers for an appetizer. almost forgot about that. they were good!
How about a super simple but really good one I came up with this weekend? 1 cup sour cream, 2-3 Tbs sweet pickle/jalapeño juice, 2 Tbs HVR powder & mix. Top w/ fresh ground black pepper & Serve w/ veggie chips.
@Kyeh@mehcuda67 Sorry about the confusion, but as they say in their ads, “You either love it, or you really love it!” I automatically assumed that in a cooking scenario, most people would go to “Hidden Valley Ranch” but I like the way you’re thinking with the High Velocity Rounds!! (I have had issues with certain foods from Taco Bell that might cause their food to pick up that moniker…)
whatever anyone needs me to make, i will bring. for dips i usually am tasked with guac, a jerk nugget specialty.
hummus is also good. if you aren’t feeding any vegans, the best trick i learned is to mix some full fat greek yogurt into storebought hummus (i like engine2 if i can find it bc it’s just puréed chickpeas and you can add the rest of the ingredients yourself, but joseph’s is also good). it makes the hummus so smooth and silky and delicious. then i spread it into a bowl and top with olive oil and sumac or everything bagel seasoning.
1 pack of Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Ranch Mix
1 cntr of Sour Cream
1 block of Cream Cheese
1 bag of finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 jar of jalapeños, diced.
Mix all together and throw in the fridge overnight
Sssoooooo good
If you don’t like spicy, leave out the jalapeños. It is still good, but not as great as it could be!!
@tinamarie1974 We tried something very like that but with anaheim peppers (much milder). Not really my favorite but it was the fastest disappearing dip at the party we took it to.
@duodec I got the recipe from a co wworkers years ago. She would always bring it for pot luck day and it was the first thing to go. After getting tired of people asking for the recipe she brought in a recipe card, made a bunch of copies and set in next to the bowl. The stack went nearly as quickly as the dip!
I make my own ranch dressing and dip from scratch. Dip is thicker, as I add more buttermilk to the dressing.
Dip would be: mayo, sour cream, splash of buttermilk, chives, garlic, lemon, black pepper, celery salt, and onion powder. I make that about about once a month, when I’m making dressing for family and friends.
Old school, Lipton onion soup dip
@Cerridwyn Comfort food!
@Cerridwyn My favorite!
Assuming you are supplying the appropriate chips I am making a couple variations of queso dip.
@yakkoTDI Yessss! Came here to say that
@DoctorOW @yakkoTDI +2!
@DoctorOW @PooltoyWolf @yakkoTDI +3
@yakkoTDI With the Queso recipe I got FROM here…perfect storm!
Buffalo chicken dip
@davea510 Yessss! Came here to say that.
Smoked salmon, chives, lemon zest, creme fraiche, salt pepper
@sillyheathen Sounds great, fancy! I’d rather have crackers or a fresh crusty bread though with it
@robson @sillyheathen Or bagels.

@edguyver14 Also yum, I’d try that.
@edguyver14 I make one similar that’s Velveeta, rotel tomatoes and taco meat. A friend named it baby shit dip
@edguyver14 my friend used to make this with taco meat for the canned chili. i just called it “meat dip.” later in life, my BIL (but not at the time) would make something similar with salsa, sour cream, and taco meat…and mixed it all together. i called it bachelor dip. it looked horrendous but dang if it didn’t taste good.
@jerk_nugget I’m definitely going to try that!
@ironcheftoni
gotta say at first glance I thought that was baby dipshit!
My grubby hands dipping a handful of those delicious chips.
Guac, or queso
Grandfather’s clam dip. A staple of the holidays and easy to make.
@duodec what’s in it?
@robson One can of minced or chopped clams per 8 ounces of sour cream. Drain (and save for other use) the clams but don’t dry; you want a little of the juice to remain. Mix well, adding garlic powder, onion powder, a very small splash of worcestorshire sauce, paprika (we prefer sweet), white pepper, and season salt to taste.

@duodec clam dip with ritz crackers was a staple at my gramma’s for family get togethers. you can even buy it buy the tub here too.
@jerk_nugget I’ve had store bought but it just doesn’t cut it for us. Too much cream cheese-alike, not enough clams and sour cream flavor.
We prefer ruffled potato chips but I’ve had it with saltines and Ritz, and it works for them too.
@duodec i have never heard of cream cheese in clam dip! i agree that would squash the clam flavor and the tang from the sour cream. we like it with chips too
@jerk_nugget Don’t know the ingredients; its been years since I tried any store bought; I just remember it tasting kind of cream cheesy (and I like cream cheese, just not in Grandfather’s clam dip!)

All of the above.
Shrimp dip… cream cheese, butter, salad shrimp, chili sauce, paprika and black pepper. Although it’s better with crackers rather than chips
@ironcheftoni My mom would do that with crab meat instead of shrimp. Yum.
Taco dip. No black olives. Or chili cheese dip if I’m in a hurry.
If they are cinnamon chips, I would say fruit salsa, or apple pie dip.
Cheesy crab dip with a generous helping of old bay seasoning
@kerryzero Yup, this or any one of about a half-dozen excellent variants of crab dip.
Pico de gallo!
Buffalo chicken dip or some classic Hidden Valley Ranch dip.
How about a super simple but really good one I came up with this weekend? 1 cup sour cream, 2-3 Tbs sweet pickle/jalapeño juice, 2 Tbs HVR powder & mix. Top w/ fresh ground black pepper & Serve w/ veggie chips.
@tohar1 What’s HVR powder?
@Kyeh @tohar1 Hopefully Hidden Valley Ranch and not High Velocity Rounds or High Voltage Resistors.
@mehcuda67 @tohar1 Thanks - for some reason I forgot about that “HVR”!
@Kyeh @mehcuda67 Sorry about the confusion, but as they say in their ads, “You either love it, or you really love it!” I automatically assumed that in a cooking scenario, most people would go to “Hidden Valley Ranch” but I like the way you’re thinking with the High Velocity Rounds!! (I have had issues with certain foods from Taco Bell that might cause their food to pick up that moniker…)
Two kinds of salsa and guacamole. This is what I do for fajita night.
Mango & red bell pepper salsa
think pico de gallo with mango instead of tomato.
whatever anyone needs me to make, i will bring. for dips i usually am tasked with guac, a jerk nugget specialty.
hummus is also good. if you aren’t feeding any vegans, the best trick i learned is to mix some full fat greek yogurt into storebought hummus (i like engine2 if i can find it bc it’s just puréed chickpeas and you can add the rest of the ingredients yourself, but joseph’s is also good). it makes the hummus so smooth and silky and delicious. then i spread it into a bowl and top with olive oil and sumac or everything bagel seasoning.
It would depend on what kind of chips. Computer, poker, cow, or members of the California Highway Patrol?
@rockblossom The black motorcycle cop that stopped me did NOT appreciate my “chocolate CHIPS” joke.
heat up a block of velveeta, stir in a tub of sour cream and a jar of salsa, makes perfect queso
cheese dip.
I have some dip mixes that just require cream cheese or sour cream… i’d probably mix one of those up. But it’s not really “home made”
Chicken wing dip. End of discussion.
@IcePopBOD I had to look up what that is. After recovering from the triple bypass surgery that the recipe video gave me, I think I may give it a go.
Rotel and Velveeta with some chili, which I’m pretty sure just has to be massively carcinogenic. Worth.
Not sure what it is called but
1 pack of Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Ranch Mix
1 cntr of Sour Cream
1 block of Cream Cheese
1 bag of finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 jar of jalapeños, diced.
Mix all together and throw in the fridge overnight
Sssoooooo good

Tomatillo and green chili salsa.
@FoxSpectre yyeesss…I also like avacado tomatillo dip!!
