Mississippi Sin Dip

Mississippi Sin Dip is a beloved Southern recipe that's as comforting as it is delicious. This creamy, cheesy, and savory dip is the perfect party appetizer, game-day snack, or any occasion.

While the exact origins of this dip are a bit hazy, it's widely believed to have originated in Mississippi sometime in the mid-20th century. It quickly gained popularity, particularly among Mississippi State University football fans who embraced it as a tailgate staple. The intriguing name "Mississippi Sin Dip" is thought to stem from its rich, indulgent nature, making it a truly sinful treat.

Boat Dip

I stumbled upon a Boat Dip recipe online and couldn't resist giving it a shot. With my kids heading out for a camping trip,I packed them off with a tub of the dip and a bag of Fritos. It was a huge hit! They raved about it, so it's officially a new family favorite. There are countless variations out there, but this one is a real winner.

Benedictine Dip

Our friends Leila and Kevin invited us to their Kentucky Derby party. She served this delicious Benedictine Dip, which was invented by the caterer and restauranteur Jennie Carter Benedict in Louisville around the turn of the 20th century. The dip combines cucumbers, red onions with cream cheese and mayonnaise. Initially, it was a spread for tea sandwiches, and over time, Benedictine spread went beyond sandwiches and became a dip for crackers and crudité.

Hot Pickle and Cheese Cracker Dip

As a kid, growing up in Indiana in the 60s, one of my favorite snacks was/is Cheez-Its Crackers and Kraft Pimento Cheese Spread. We are taking "haute cuisine". My tastes have evolved into a somewhat more sophisticated palate, though if you showed up at my house with this combo, I would be delighted! Anyway, getting back to my main point here is this Hot Pickle and Cheese Cracker Dip. It's a deliciously spicy, tangy, cheesy, briny dip that is covered in, wait for it... Cheez-Its and baked. What's not to like?!

Hot Reuben Dip

My nephew Will was visiting from the UK. He loves reuben sandwiches, so I made him this Hot Reuben Dip. It's a combination of corned beef (I couldn't find any so I used pastrami), cream cheese, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, sour cream, ketchup, and spicy brown mustard. It's baked in the oven and served with rye or pumpernickel. It was delicious.
