If you live in the U.S., you no doubt realize there's a big football game coming up on February 6. Whether you're going to a party, hosting one, or just watching with the family, it's time to start planning your Superbowl menu. I think every Superbowl party needs dips, and lately I've been dreaming about hot and creamy dip recipes. I hope you haven't finalized your menu yet, because I'm sharing some options for you to test out before the big game day arrives.

Who wouldn't love dipping into this Taco Dip from Closet Cooking? This recipe combines ground beef, cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, salsa, cheese and spices and is baked until it's hot and bubbly.

Another dip I think looks fabulous is this Hot Crab, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip from Life's Ambrosia. This creamy combination is a spin-off of something Des loved at a restaurant where she worked many years ago, and it brings back memories when she makes it.

Lots of hot dips are baked or cooked in a crockpot, but I love the idea of this Creamy Hot Crab Dip on the Stovetop from White on Rice Couple.

At Buns in My Oven, Karly's kids loved this Hot Bacon Cheese Dip that's baked in a bread bowl, and I bet your Superbowl guests will love it too.

You may have had this type of bean dip with cold beans, but Elise has improved upon the concept at Simply Recipes by realizing that refried beans taste better when they're hot. In this recipe for 7 Layer Bean Dip, the beans are heated with spices, then quickly put in a bowl and topped with cheese before other toppings like avocado, tomato, olives, sour cream, and cilantro are added.

I love to see what people bring for our annual party, but don't care about the game at all.

I like the idea of combining superbowl food with Chinese New Year, very fun!

I have to admit, my only interest in the Super Bowl is the food! And, hot crab dip draws me in every time. I have look at the options here and then get dipping!

That I am making jalapeno poppers for Superbowl Sunday. The only question is whether it's just me and the fake husband or if it's all his buddies (in which case probably not at our house) which means I need to make way more of them.
