Dip, Dip, Dip, I love DIP! Nacho Dip is a staple in our house, not just for special occasions, but just about any time. I will make up this Easy Nacho Dip recipe for Hubs to snack on during the week or for us to enjoy together if we are sitting down to a movie night, or it is also the perfect game day snack.
With just a handful of ingredients, it only uses 5 ingredients. It is the best dip to make and is quick to create and keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days, if it lasts that long! It is no surprise that this recipe is one of my most popular recipe posts on my blog since I originally posted it a few years ago before a super bowl party.
Tip: Make sure you place the corn chips on the platter after you take it out of the fridge or you will end up with soggy chips.
We have lots of other easy recipes for dips for a family game night including easy layered nacho dip, cheesy dip, and many other Superbowl worthy dip recipes that will revival what you would find at authentic Mexican restaurants.
You can adapt this recipe to make it as spicy as you like by adding simple ingredients like more chili powder or using hot salsa instead of a mild or medium. Have some green onions, green chiles, green bell pepper in the fridge? Dice them up to add to the dip as well.
