I skip the garlic steps and just use minced garlic. I use almond or oat milk, thyme, and nutmeg and serve with a crusty bread. My kids love this so much.

There was a recipe going around this winter with whipped goat cheese, bacon, and dates. It was good.

Velveeta+Rotel.

Crab dip:

1 can lump crabmeat
1 brick cream cheese
1 cup mayo
8oz cheddar
Old Bay, Cayenne, Garlic powder

Combine and bake


Hot 7 layer dip:

In order:

8oz cream cheese mixed with canned green chiles
1 pureed can chipotles in adobo
Pepper Jack cheese
Refried Beans
1 can Rotel
Cheddar Cheese
Sliced jalapenos

Layer and bake


Kitfo queso dip:

Brown ground beef or minute steak with onions and Jalapenos, season with berbere.
Add to melted American cheese (or even better sodium citrate cheddar) along with chopped tomatoes and chopped collard greens.

I like to deep fry injera triangles for dipping, they retain their sourness and have a really hearty crunch.

Mayo
BBQ
Ricotta
Artichokes

Bake till hot.

Buffalo chicken dip is always popular.

Crab dip or artichoke dip. Mix sour cream, mayo, and Parmesan (equal parts) with whatever your filling of choice is. A little sautéed shallot and spinach mixed in is nice. Season and add a little cayenne and nutmeg. More cheese on top. Bake in a low oven for 20 min

I don't know if you SHOULD make it dinner from a health perspective but it is certainly delicious enough that you could - the Southern Living Jalapeno Popper Dip - and I don't even like jalapeno poppers!

Basically dips that can be dinner, maybe with a salad. Any favorites?
