This recipe was shared w/ me by a friend and it is THE BEST Onion Dip you'll ever eat. Many say it is 1000's times better than any onion dip they've ever had. I agree. The recipe came from Barefoot Contessa, who is know for globbing on the fat and calories. Read more Between her and Paula Deen - is there any fat left? I changed it around only to add roasted garlic. If you don't have anything to dip in this your guests will use their fingers to get ready with the chips already. See less
Ingredients
- one head of garlic, roasted shopping list
- 2 large yellow onions shopping list
- 4 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- dash of sugar shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne shopping list
- kosher or sea salt to taste, about 1 teaspoon shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite fresh crushed pepper shopping list
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 1/2 cup sour cream shopping list
- 1/2 cup mayo shopping list
How to make it
- Roast the garlic w/ olive oil, salt, and pepper by cutting the top off the garlic to expose the top of each clove. Sprinkle w/ olive oil, salt, and pepper and wrap tightly w/ foil. Roast for 45 minutes @ 350 degrees. Open and press the garlic out.
- Slice the onions into medium thick rounds. Warm the butter and the oil and sauté the onions and add the cayenne, salt, and pepper on medium for about 10 minutes, then turn the heat to medium low and add a dash of sugar. The onions will caramelize and turn a yummy brown.
- Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and may together and beat until smooth. Add the onions and roasted garlic and SERVE!
