Sour Cream Pesto Dip

Sour Cream Pesto Dip

Linda Larsen
If you're having a bunch of friends over on Sunday to watch the big game, how can you easily feed them without going to a lot of trouble? With this easy menu, of course, based on chips and chili.

You want the food to be easy to eat, delicious, and fun too. Chips (and some vegetables for a bit of variety and nutrition) and dip, along with a couple of simple chili recipes, fit the bill.

And for dessert, two super simple bar cookies will keep everyone happy. Fill up a couple of coolers with ice, beer, pop, and water, put out plenty of napkins, and you're set!

Easiest Ever Super Bowl Party

  • Rich Tomato-Cheese Dip
    This simple version of the Ro-Tel dip is cheesy and creamy, perfect with taco chips.
  • Guacamole
    You have to have guacamole at a Super Bowl party! Buy your avocados as soon as possible and put them in a paper bag on the counter; they'll be perfect on Sunday.
  • Sour Cream Onion Dip
    I love this variation on the classic dip that has even more flavor and texture than the original; try it!
  • Layered BLT Dip
    This fabulous dip tastes just like a BLT sandwich, but it's easier to eat.
  • Sour Cream Pesto Dip
    Just three ingredients make a wonderful dip perfect to serve with fresh vegetables and even some cooked meatballs, if you'd like.
  • Vegetarian Chili
    Have chili simmering in the crockpot, along with bowls, spoons, and napkins. Some of the dips can be toppings for the chili, and put out some shredded cheese and pickled jalapeños too.
  • Crockpot Meatball Chili
    And this hearty meatball chili is another easy crockpot dish. Make it as mild or spicy as you like.
  • Cookie Brittle
    If you can stir ingredients in a bowl and press dough into a pan, you can make this recipe. Watch the video if you're unsure.
  • Moist Brownies
    And brownies are a great finish to this spicy spread. These easy bar cookies are delicious.

Buy several types of chips, tortilla chips, and prepared vegetables. With lots to drink and a big screen TV, your party will be a huge success. Hope your team wins!
