Skillet Dip Party Appetizers

Skillet dips are the perfect way to put together a warm, cheesy, and gooey dip on a chilly night with friends. I have compiled a list of amazing skillet dips from which I am positive that you can find at least one or two that you like.

Super easy to make and very few dishes to wash as the baking dish is also the serving dish! Just prep the filling (usually a cream cheese base), spread into the an oven safe skillet, cover with cheese or cracker topping, and bake until hot and bubbly and the top a golden brown!

There are vegetarian and carnivore options that are perfect for any game day spread! I mean, it’s not a party without a cheesy skillet dip, right?

Tools to make Skillet Dips

Tapas Tips & Tricks

  • Prep the mixture in a bowl and then spread in the dip.
  • Do not store a cast iron skillet in the refrigerator. Only use enamel coated ones if refrigerating or freezing.
  • Be sure mixture is close to room temperature before baking so it cooks evenly.
  • If covering the dip with foil while baking, spray it with cooking spray where it’s going to cover the dip. That way the melted cheese won’t stick to it!
  • Have a trivet and pot holders handy as the skillet will be hot.
  • Do not store leftovers in the skillet. Always move to a safe food storage container.
