Delicious Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 2 cups onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and onions. Cook until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Mix the Base

    In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

    Use a hand mixer for a creamier texture.
  3. Add Bacon and Cheese

    Fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture.

    Reserve some bacon and cheese for topping.
  4. Combine with Onions

    Once the onions are caramelized, fold them into the dip mixture until well combined.

    Let the onions cool slightly before mixing.
  5. Bake the Dip

    Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with reserved bacon and cheese. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.

    Look for a golden, bubbly top.
  6. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from oven, garnish with fresh chives, and serve warm with crackers or bread.

    Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
