Caramelized Onion Dip

I’m going to admit that sometimes I do buy prepared sour cream and onion dip at the grocery store. And I do like it. I know, I know. Sorry, not sorry!

But I absolutely LOVE my homemade Caramelized Onion Dip With Bacon recipe. And we all know that everything is better with bacon! There truly is no comparison.

Actually anything homemade is hands down better than store bought, in my humble culinary opinion.

A vidalia onion dip is something you most likely cannot buy at the store giving you more reasons to make your own homemade onion dip.

Onions are slowly caramelized making them sweet and tender and then combined with crispy bacon creating a flavor combination that is to die for!

Our recipe for onion dip is the perfect kick-off to the Super Bowl kick-off this weekend!

What is French onion dip?

French onion dip, also known as California dip, is actually an American dip. It is usually made with a sour cream base that is seasoned with minced onion and beef bouillon. This dip is typically served with potato chips and referred to as “chips and dip”.

How to make homemade onion dip

  1. Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
  2. Add onions and cook until onions are deep golden, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  3. Add bouillon, reduce heat to low and cook additional 5 minutes; let cool.
  4. Set aside 1 Tablespoon crumbled bacon and 1 Tablespoon parsley.
  5. Combine sour cream, onion mixture, remaining bacon and parsley in a bowl.
  6. Top with reserved bacon and parsley and serve with your favorite dippers or chips.
