The Super Bowl isn’t just a game—it’s an excuse to gather, snack, and settle in for a full day of competition and commercials worth talking about. Whether you’re hosting a backyard watch party, tailgating before kickoff, or squeezing everyone into the living room, the key to a great Super Bowl setup is good food and comfortable seating that keeps guests relaxed from pregame to the final whistle.
With the big game right around the corner, don’t let your dip game—or your fan comfort zone—fall short.
GCI Outdoor Ambassador Owen Quirk of @aweebitquirkybbq has a Bacon Scallion Dip that’s guaranteed to disappear fast—and it couldn’t be easier to throw together. It pairs perfectly with a simple outdoor prep setup (think: a compact table, a side table, and a few rockers for maximum lounging).
Ingredients
- 10 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, grilled & chopped (reserve 1–2 raw, chopped)
- 1/2 cup Duke’s mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan
- Meat Church Blanco Rub, to taste
Directions
- Cook bacon until crisp and chop.
- Grill green onions until lightly charred; chop and reserve a little raw chopped green onion for topping.
- Combine bacon, grilled green onions, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and Blanco Rub in a bowl.
- Mix well, top with reserved raw green onion, and serve with pita chips or bagel chips.
Simple, smoky, and absolutely game-day ready.
