Baked Caramelized Onion Dip
Baked Caramelized Onion Dip
Baked Caramelized Onion Dip is a fantastic “baked” dip with lots of cheesy, creamy, oniony goodness. The cheesy part comes from the Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese and the creaminess is from a combination of sour cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese. The star of the recipe; caramelized onions. Onions saute’ in melted butter until sweet and golden brown.
Caramelized Onions
This recipe calls for using caramelized onions. Yesterday I posted a recipe for Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions with this recipe in mind. Making caramelized onions in your slow cooker is fast and easy. The hardest part is slicing all the onions, which really isn’t difficult just a little ‘tear jerking.’ Once that part is over and done with, you’ll have great tasting caramelized onions and a great smelling house.
Serve with
Serve caramelized onion dip with your favorite pretzels, chips, corn chips or crackers. Our favorite way to serve this warm dip is on lightly toasted baguette slices, with or without an ice cold beer. Since I generally only use sweet onions, such as a Vidalia onions, this recipe was made with what else, my favorite Vidalia sweet onions but you can easily use Walla Walla onions, yellow onions or even a combination of yellow and sweet onions.
