Warm Blue Cheese Dip Recipe with Fries and Onion Rings

This yummy warm blue cheese dip is the perfect appetizer for game day!

What are your favorite game time foods? Do you stick to the same ‘ol same ‘ol every year, or do you like to change it up a bit with some new recipes to surprise your guests?

While there are some classic foods that I like to serve year after year, I always like to put a new spin on an old classic or create something brand new.

And since at least SOME of our guests are more interested in the food than in the game I try to go the extra mile and make something special to “class it up” a little bit.

This year that upgrade includes Alexia Smart Classic Crinkle Cut Fries and Crispy Onion Rings. I headed to Walmart to pick these up. They also had Alexia Sweet Potato fries, but I had to set a limit someplace!

To give these quality crunchers a dipping sauce they deserve, I created a Warm Blue Cheese Dip Recipe. This thick creamy dip just begs to be scooped up with a crispy Alexia fry or crunchy onion ring. Get ready!
