I am making a dip for a New Years Eve party and I was wondering if you could give me some ideas on which one of these is better. Unless you can think of a better appetizer :), please let me know! Thanks a bunch!
 
Touchdown Taco Dip all the way!
 
The td taco dip is awesome. I always double it and it disappears fast! I am sure there are other great appetizers too, drawing a blank right now, probably because it's morning! You will certainly get some ideas here.

TD dip is always great - but I like to add "stuff" to the pizza dip (i.e., pepperoni, canadian bacon, mushrooms, etc.) to make it even yummier!!
 
It's really a matter of preference because they are so different...you know your friends... what would they prefer? I agree with adding more to the pizza dip! I always add more garlic (does it call for garlic? I can't remember!... if it doesn't I add it!)
My personal opinion is the TDTD... because it goes farther (makes more) and it appeals to just about everyone!
Good luck! let us know what you decide!
 
I've doubled the pizza dip before and cooked it in the rectangular baker. Grab a couple loaves of bread and it was all good. Fed a ton. The only down side is if you want to toast the bread, then that's just an extra step (and sometimes the crusty bread hurts the roof of my mouth! lol) I've always wanted to try making the braided bread loaf ring/thing that Janet's shared. Sounds fantastic, warm bread, warm dip. Aahh. ;)
Oh, side note on the dip...the first time I had it my host used freshly grated parmesan that was in a jar (not the powdered "grated" parmesan) and I loved it, the second time I made it with the powdered in a can "grated" kind. I think the fresh one was much better.I haven't made the TDTD yet, but I love doing taco dips with chips. Most people love them. So think what are you or your crowd are more in the mood for...mexican or italian?! ;)
 
Tough question - both are very good - but different.

Last year I made one of each - both are always a hit.

This year I am skipping the Pizza Dip and keeping the Touchdown Taco Dip since my main dishes are Italian Based.

Oh, if you do decide on the Hot Pizza Dip, Ann has a recipe on here about using Frozen Bread loaves and making a "wreath" around the mini baker with the bread and it all bakes at once. Everyone thought it was so cool last year! I am sure you can search and find the recipe.
 
I am making the Pizza Dip...I LOVE IT! I have never had the TDTD, but I am extremely picky..
