Chips and dip topped with bacon, cheese, and chives.

I get giddily excited for football season because football season = dip season. It’s the only time of year that I can justify consuming chips and dip as a meal. And since we’re nearing the end of football season, we’re ending with a bang.

Whether you’re watching the big game with just a few people, or you’re hosting a big party, this dip has to make its way onto your menu. Grab some pretzels, grab some chips – let’s dive in!
