Title: How to Make 3 Super Bowl Dips for Under $20
Looking forward to Super Bowl Sunday, a home cook got to work on a football viewing party staple: chips and dip. As a budgeting pro, she was thrilled to discover it only cost $20 for three dishes.
Sensational Super Bowl Dip Recipes for Less than $20
A home cook who goes by @dollartreedinners often shares the recipes she comes up with using products from her favorite chain budget store. And thinking about her Super Bowl party, she created with three dips with Dollar Tree ingredients.
Creating Three Delicious Super Bowl Dips for Under $20
The grand total? Only $20. She shared the grocery list: two blocks of cream cheese blend, a block of cheddar, a block of mozzarella, two cans of chicken, canned chili, canned Rotel, parmesan cheese, ranch dressing, Velveeta cheese sauce, Frank’s Buffalo sauce, and frozen spinach.
The Dollar Tree Super Bowl Dips Ingredients
Because all the dips are cream-cheese-based, she cut the two blocks into thirds and split them between the three dishes. “This keeps the cost low,” she said, noting that it’s cheaper than buying a third block. She did the same process with the blocks of mozzarella and cheddar, cutting them each into thirds and shredding those thirds in bowls.
How to Prepare and Assemble the Super Bowl Dips
“I’m going to save the mozzarella cheese for the spinach dip, I’m going to save the cheddar cheese for the chili dip, but then I can do a mixture of both cheddar and mozzarella for the buffalo dip, so I divided them evenly.” All three dips start off the same: microwaving the cream cheese for 15-30 seconds, then creaming it with a spatula.
Creating the “Super Bowl” Dips
“The first dip is going to get a can of chili, a can of Rotel [drained beforehand], and a packet of Velveeta cheese sauce.” Mix that together, pour it in one aluminum tin, and top with shredded cheddar. For your second dip, add two cans of drained chicken, the bottle of Frank’s Buffalo Wing sauce, and half the bottle of ranch dressing – which is about a cup.

Throw that mixture into another tin and top it with the cheddar and mozzarella blend. And finally, for the spinach dip, you’ll want to thaw and drain the frozen bag of spinach and add it to your cream cheese, along with an entire jar of parmesan. Put it in your tin and top with shredded mozzarella. Bake them together at 400 degrees for 18 minutes, and broil for a bit if you want a browned surface. As for her favorite? The buffalo chicken took the cake.
Enjoying the Super Bowl Dips
“Although, I loved all three of these.” Viewers appreciated her ideas. “You are carrying so many of us through the recession and inflation, please keep going,” one person wrote. “I needed this,” added another.
