Bacon & 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. But I absolutely LOVE my homemade Bacon & Caramelized Onion Dip. There truly is no comparison! Onions are slowly caramelized making them sweet and tender and then combined with crispy bacon creating a flavor combination that is to die for! This onion dip is the perfect kick-off to the Super Bowl kick-off this weekend!
