Onion Dip from Scratch

I think I've died and gone to onion dip heaven...

Thanks to my good friend Sara for giving me this recipe! I have mentioned in previous posts that I looooove different types of dip. This dip was just fantastic! The flavor of the caramelized onions really came through and I thought set it apart from store-bought onion dips. Don't let the fact that you caramelize your own onions scare you off from this recipe! It was very easy and well worth the effort. The only thing I would suggest is to start the onions out at a lower heat, and then bring the heat up to medium throughout the caramelizing process. The medium heat just seemed too hot to start out with at the beginning.

The consistency was perfect and the flavor was outstanding! I probably could have sat there and just ate it with a spoon. Everyone seemed to enjoy it! Some of the reviews of the recipe mentioned that letting the dip refrigerate overnight really deepens the flavor and makes it even better. I'll have to try that next time! I made it a few hours before serving it and was very pleased!

This would be a great thing to have at your upcoming Super Bowl party (or any party, for that matter)! Serve it with veggies, chips, or whatever you want! You won't be disappointed!
