Gluten Free Game Day Chili Dip

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

You’re going to love this game day chili dip. It looks like chili and tastes like chili, but it’s dip! Yum.

Homemade Game-Day Chili Dip

The most important food at a Super Bowl party is undeniably the dip. This homemade, gluten-free and low-carb chunky chili dip has all the ingredients necessary to make it a crowd-pleasing favorite on game day.

Healthy ingredients

Hearty ground beef. Check. Jalapeno pepper. Check. Cheddar cheese. Check. Bacon. Check. But, hey, why stop there? You can see from the ingredients list in the recipe that I kicked it up a notch to make this dip even more flavorful and incredibly healthy. Applegate No Nitrate Hot Dogs? Yes! Coconut oil? Yes! Apple Cider Vinegar? Yesss!

Coconut oil is a super food that has all kinds of amazing health benefits from improving skin health to brain function. Raw apple cider vinegar alkalizes the body, balancing your pH, to help you fight off disease and inflammation.

I especially like Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar because it contains the “mother” of the vinegar: strands of proteins, enzymes, and friendly bacteria.

Sneaking these two super-charged ingredients into this mouthwateringly delicious dip turns it into the perfect football party food.

How to make it

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

The dip is super-easy to make. First, I heat the coconut oil in a large pot before adding the ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper. Once the beef has browned, I toss in the onion, peppers, and garlic and cook until soft.

Next come the spices to make this the most savory dip you’ve ever tasted: oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Yum.

Then a bit of garlic and crushed tomatoes. I bring the pot to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about an hour, letting all the flavors blend together.

Finally, I add the apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and stir.

Next come two of my favorite ingredients: the hot dogs and Mascarpone cheese. I love adding Mascarpone cheese to my dips and stuffings as it gives them a creamier texture and holds all of the ingredients together. 

Make sure to drain some of the liquid off at this point if, like me, you like your dip dryer and thicker.

Now the dip is nearly ready! Just need to transfer to a casserole dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon.

Then, I pop into the oven for five minutes. The dip is warm and crispy and ready to be garnished with the rest of the bacon, cheddar cheese and scallions.

Pro Tips And Recipe Notes

  • No coconut oil? No problem. Feel free to use extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or whichever oil you prefer.
  • Make sure to use sturdy chips for hearty dips like this one as thinner chips will break more easily. I recommend the tasty organic Green Mountain Gringo blue corn tortilla chips that I found at my local health food store. They are certified 100% gluten free.
  • Following a low-carb way of eating? No problem. Dig in with celery sticks, slices of bell peppers, my crispy cheese crisps, or bake some pepperoni slices until they’re crispy so they’ll be sturdy enough for dipping in. Yum.

I love that the Super Bowl is an excuse to throw a party whether or not you’re a football fan. And now I love the fact that it’s an excuse to make this delicious dip. Enjoy!

    You sneaky, sneaky mom! What a brilliant idea, to sneak these ultra-nutritious foods into something that everybody loves to eat! This looks absolutely delish. The only problem is–if I knew that it was actually good for me, I’d probably eat way too much of it!

    Is cumin necessary in this ingredient. I’m not a fan of cumin. Is there anything I could substitute it with?

      You can just leave it out if you don’t care for it. There is plenty of flavor with all the other spices. 🙂
