Recipe video above. Classic French Onion Dip - made at home! The key to the amazing flavour base is to cook the onions slowly because they sweeten and caramelise.

Homemade French Onion Dip

tbsp butter

onions

salt

tsp black pepper

onion powder

cayenne pepper

oz / 120 g cream cheese

egg mayonnaise

sour cream

Melt the butter in a fry pan over medium heat.

Add the onions, salt, pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Then reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should be sweet and golden. Remove from stove and allow to cool.

Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo in a bowl, mix until smooth (use microwave in 10 sec bursts if needed to assist)

Add the caramelised onions. Mix until just combined. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to allow flavours to develope, overnight is better!

Serve at room temperature, garnished with chopped chives if desired. Best served with crinkle cut plain potato chips!

CARAMELIZED ONION DIP is the ultimate super easy appetizer to make for game day! This amazing sour cream and bacon dip is made in minutes and loved by all. It's filled with so much flavor, and so many delicious ingredients, like bacon, sour cream, onions, and chives.

Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip

olive oil

bacon (uncooked and chopped)

onion (finely chopped)

sour cream (I love Oberweis Cultured Sour Cream)

chives

cheddar cheese

salt and pepper

chips veggies

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and chopped bacon into the skillet and cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain.

Add the chopped onion into the skillet with the bacon grease and caramelize for about 10 minutes, or until fully browned and translucent. Remove onion from the skillet and allow to drain/cool.

In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, bacon, onion, chives, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper.

Allow to sit in the fridge in an airtight container for at least an hour to fully chill and for flavors to all blend together.

Serve with chips or chopped veggies.

Enjoy!

Onion Bacon Dip

This caramelized onion dip is a total crowd pleaser! Serve with chips, pita or bagel crisps, or on sandwiches and burgers. YUM.

Caramelized Onion Dip

salted butter

salt and sugar

white wine

cream cheese, softened

parsley

soy sauce (!!)

Prep

 Peel the onions and slice them very thinly. I find it helpful to use a mandoline for this.

Sauté

Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and sugar, and saute for 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Pour a little bit of wine in and let it sizzle out. Stir, add wine, sizzle, etc. After about 30 minutes, your onions should be deeply golden brown and fragrant.

Mix: 

Transfer onions to a cutting board and chop coarsely into small pieces &#8211; or just use a kitchen scissors and snip them up right in the pan. Mix the cream cheese and sour cream. Mix in the onions and a handful of fresh parsley. Taste and season &#8211; if you want just a little sumthin sumthin extra, add a small splash (like, a tablespoon or less) of soy sauce and/or Worcestershire. This just gives it a little depth and umami flavor.

"not particularly beautiful"??? Girl this is the most beautiful thing I've seen all morning😍😍

I find the BEST caramelized onions come from my cast iron skillet.  Skillets take work to maintain but the results are WORTH IT! I actually just made caramelized onions in a reg ole non-stick last night and it was just not comparable!! Definitely trying this recipe for Friday night :)

What a great idea! And beautiful photography! You managed to make the dip look pretty which is not an easy endeavor!

yum caramelised onion anything = love. This looks so good am super tempted to recreate a vegan version - yum! How can i cook food all week long, yet still find all your stuff so inspiring? Yep - you do that for me lindsay. Foodie awesomeness x

This looks absolutely fabulous! I'll probably try it as is (and eat store brand French onion while I make it), but for those who really need it healthier or vegan I'd sub a block of soft tofu soaked in salt water and lemon juice for half an hour blended with a few tablespoons coconut oil for the sour cream and cream cheese. Thanks for the lovely recipe!

This recipe had my mouthwatering for days until I tried it. And when I finally did, it was 100% well worth the wait!

Tried the recipe, came out excellent. Its a keeper!! :) Thanks for sharing

If I had to choose one thing to eat everyday for the rest of my life, it would be chips and dip. This dip looks amazing!

Thank you for this inspiring recipe! My husband and I are in Europe for six months and have so many foods from home we miss, namely, onion dip! We followed your lead using ingredients we could access. We used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, whiskey instead of wine and it was amazing!! I am sure your original recipe is better and can't wait to try it again when I can. Thanks for sharing this super comforting and delicious recipe!

Skip the store and make this Vegan French Onion Dip from scratch! It's easy, healthy, and made with only 8 plant-based ingredients. 

Vegan French Onion Dip

Sweet Onion

½ cup Vegetable Broth

Cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours

oz Silken Tofu

½ tsp Garlic Powder

tsp Nutritional Yeast

tsp Vegan Worcestershire Sauce

tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped

Black Pepper,

Crunchmaster Crackers,

Finely dice the Onion, then and add it to a large non-stick pot with a splash of Vegetable Broth. Sauté the Onion and Vegetable Broth together over medium-high heat. Sauté the Onions as you normally would in the pan, but let all of the Vegetable Broth evaporate. Let the Onions “sit” in the pan for 10-20 seconds without liquid, then “deglaze” the pan using a splash of Vegetable Broth. Repeat this process until all of the Vegetable Broth has been used, and the Onions are tender and dark brown.

Add 1/2 cup of the Caramelized Onions to the blender with the Soaked Cashews, Tofu, Garlic Powder, Nutritional Yeast, Worcestershire Sauce, and Salt. Blend everything until smooth and creamy, then transfer into a bowl and fold in the remaining Caramelized Onions.

Place the dip in the fridge for at least 10 minutes, to allow it to thicken and set. Top with fresh Parsley and Black Pepper, and serve with Crunchmaster Crackers. Leftovers will last in the fridge for up to 10 days.

It&#8217;s easy to make, only requires five simple ingredients (two of which are salt and pepper), and tastes much better than anything you can buy at the store. This dip gets better over time, making this the perfect make-ahead appetizer!

The Best Onion Dip

sweet onion

salted butter, melted

fine sea salt

(16 ounces or 2 cups) sour cream

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or use a large baking dish.

Toss the chopped onions with the melted butter and spread them into a thin layer on the baking sheet.

Roast, stirring every 10 minutes, until the onions are soft, smell sweet, and turn a light golden color, 50 to 60 minutes. Keep a closer eye towards the end of the cooking time to ensure the onions do not overbrown.

Transfer the onions while they are still hot to a mixing bowl and scrape all the butter left in the pan into the bowl with the onions.

Stir in the salt, pepper, and sour cream.

Cover and refrigerate overnight, and then serve. The dip will last up to 4 days in the fridge. Stir well before serving.

I love these two, and I love the fact that they have found a way to convert their passion for cooking and new recipes into income. They are both great cooks, but they are also entrepreneurs. Hope you enjoy the recipes as much as I do.

I love onions.  to bring out their natural sweetnes , I cook them in a pan with a lid slice chop whatever start a saute butter veg oil pinch salt med low heat cover until done. love it this way

I've made this 2 times, The 1st time, I gave a portion to my friend who is a French onion dip aficionado, and she's now hounding me to keep making it.  Says it's the best she's ever had. I have to agree!

I  test drove  this recipe for Super Bowl and made a half batch. It was AMAZING, seriously AMAZING!  I accidentally used a whole onion but then I later read a comment where you said it's ok to adjust the amount of onions used. It is mind blowing how those simple 5 ingredients came together. I had to stop myself from adding more ingredients (ie garlic) and I'm so glad I did - your recipe is golden as written! Needless to say, this WILL be appearing at our Super Bowl party and I will be 3x 'ing the recipe!!! Now I can't wait to try making the roasted whole onion recipe on your site! Many thanks!

This dip was easy, but my family and I found it to be too sweet. When I make it again I will use yellow onion instead of sweet onion.

Oh my word, how good is this dip?! I admit, I was sceptical when I saw how simple the recipe was, but I had some sweet onions that needed to be utilised, so I thought I'd give it a go. I am so glad I did. I used to be a fan of the packet mix, but there is no going back now. This recipe is too easy and too good. I can't wait to bring it to our next shared morning tea at work. Thanks for the excellent recipe.

I have made this dip twice now. Both times have turned out excellent and everyone loves it! It's been added to my recipe box of favorites!!

This French Onion dip is amazing! My husband loves onions and this by far has been his favorite onion dip. I can't get over at how simple it was to make and with little ingredients. Thank you for the recipe we will never ever go back to packaged French onion dips.

My only regret is that I didn't double this recipe! I made it for card club and everyone LOVED it!  There was only about a quarter cup leftover for me to bring home. I liked it best the first day but the second day it was also amazing. My house smelled yummy from the baked buttered onions!!!

Would this recipe work in the air fryer? It’s very hot here and hate to turn on my oven. I’m excited to try this recipe. Thanks a bunch, Lynda

Wow, so nice to finally see a great recipe that uses fresh Walla Walla Sweet onions.  Can't wait till summer when I can pick the new crop of them in my garden.  But for now, I had to buy some onions at the store.  Such a great recipe.  Thanks so much.
