Introduction<\/em><\/strong>: In this article, Gena Philibert-Ortega searches old newspapers to find dip recipes for your Super Bowl celebration. Gena is a genealogist and author of the book \u201cFrom the Family Kitchen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost that time again: Super Bowl! Yes, Super Bowl LIV is this Sunday. And that can only mean one thing\u2026 food! Sure, the Super Bowl is also about a football game \u2013 but if you\u2019re like me and not really a fan, it\u2019s a great excuse to eat appetizers as a meal and enjoy some clever commercials.<\/p>\n

Super Bowl food usually revolves around things that can be grilled, like hamburgers, hot dogs, and hot wings. Appetizers of all types make an appearance \u2013 and when you have appetizers like chips and raw vegetables, you might also want something to dip them in. Ranch Dressing is a must for those hot wings, but what other types of dips might crowd your Super Bowl buffet table?<\/p>\n

My favorite recipe newspaper article has to be this one from the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>, which is the result of asking readers for their favorite dip recipes. The newspaper then chose 40 recipes and published them along with the name of the submitter. It\u2019s a diverse group of tasty-sounding dips that include ingredients ranging from bacon to seafood, and black-eyed-peas to jalapenos. I\u2019d be happy to taste all of them at a party!<\/p>\n

Another article that featured reader\u2019s dip recipes is found in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/em>, and includes a Beer Cheese Dip and a Baked Artichoke Dip that are perfect for a party. The Breadpot Fondue also looks pretty good, and includes melted cheese, ham, onions, and diced green chiles.<\/p>\n

1967<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first Super Bowl was held in Los Angeles in 1967 between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. That first game got me thinking about what dip recipes were featured in newspapers of the time. There were definitely some interesting \u201cInternational\u201d recipes including this \u201cAsian\u201d inspired duo for potato chips. The second recipe, Suki Chip Dip, appears to be \u201cAsian\u201d because of the inclusion of soy sauce along with cream cheese, pineapple, deviled ham and curry powder.<\/p>\n

What Are You Making and What Time Is the Party?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are all kinds of dips that go great with Super Bowl food. Ranch Dressing and French Onion Dip are old favorites \u2013 but one of the best dips is 7-Layer Dip, which takes refried beans or bean dip, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and, depending on your recipe, taco meat, tomatoes, guacamole, and salsa. It\u2019s the perfect thing for game day.<\/p>\n
