1. Cheesy Beer Dip
It simply wouldn't be the Super Bowl without some sort of cheesy, beer infused appetizer like this mouthwatering Cheesy Beer Dip. With two types of cheese and a good amount of beer, this is the dip that was made for those sinfully good pretzel crisps.
While there are a variety of Pretzel Crisp flavors to choose from, try out the Garlic Parmesan for this recipe. Be forewarned, once your guests touchdown those thin pretzel chips into the gooey cheese, you may not make it through the pregame show without needing to whip up a second batch.
