Kicking off with a classic, here is your go-to, all-purpose cheese dip. It couldn’t be easier to mix up, making it perfect for last-minute company, and it doesn’t instantly thicken as it cools, so it’s great to enjoy at the table as everyone arrives.

This is an appetizer you’d expect to see on a restaurant menu, but it’s easy enough to prepare at home in a matter of minutes. The creamy, flavor-packed dip pairs nicely with pita, crackers, chips or crostini

Try this on for a lovely thought: you’re only 15 minutes away from a sizzling skillet of queso that’s too good not to share, and it doesn’t require leaving home. If you don’t have tortilla chips on hand, have a friend bring them over.

Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip

For those who enjoy a healthy dose of greens with their cheese dip, this is the recipe. The Allrecipes community absolutely loves this warm spinach dip because it leans on various cheeses rather than using mayo or sour cream. The flavor is rich, but the process remains easy.

"Formerly known as 'Neiman Marcus dip,' this million dollar dip tastes just like it sounds. I've had more than a few cheesy dips in my day, but this is by far the richest and most addictive one yet. And it's much cheaper than the name suggests!" —Chef John

This fan-favorite is a tasty change of pace from a typical artichoke dip. As Allrecipes Community Member Roberta Kirby Thurlow says, “Wonderful: cheesy, a bit tangy, perfect when you want something yummy but different. Everyone LOVED it!”

Those who love blue cheese generally really LOVE blue cheese; accordingly, they deserve a cheese dip in their honor. While this is a great one, there is likely to be one problem with the recipe: there may not be enough of it! Never hesitate to play it safe and double the batch.
