And right here is the difference between those store bought dips and this recipe. This lucious pile of golden, caramelized, beautiful, sweet onions. It is worth the half an hour it takes to get these onions ready to be made into the dip.
This makes 3 cups of dip but it stays good in the refrigerator for several days so it can be made ahead of time and enjoyed for quite a while.
Yield: 3 cups

Yum! I've made a similar dip with sour cream but didn't add cream cheese. NOw I can't wait to try this version!
ReplyDeleteIt was a big hit Heather.
DeleteThis makes me laugh because my stomach churns at the thought of those premade dips from the grocery store even though I've never tried one. This, however, sounds AMAZING. And I happen to have some extra onions I should use up soon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Audrey.
DeleteGreat variation on the usual French onion dip! Caramelized onions are so good!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I bet that cream cheese added such a delicious creaminess to the dip. I love french onion dip, and would want to devour the whole batch myself!
