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

Hello everyone, some statements people make may appear unbelievable, yet they reflect their truth due to their personal experiences. I'm a truck driver and I enjoy playing the lottery, but it's been 8 years without winning anything significant. I became upset over this and chose to seek help online from anyone skilled in using spells to win the lottery since my grandma had faith in spells and a story about Lord Meduza spells drew my interest. I obtained his contact information, and we discussed all aspects of how he could assist me. In less than 72 hours, Lord Meduza provided me with the lottery numbers I required after he completed the spell for me. I purchased my ticket online, followed the guidance of Lord Meduza, and now my life is fortunate because I won a $42.5 million Jackpot in the lottery I participated in. I’m thankful to Lord Meduza because he truly keeps his promises and I will donate $1 million to the orphanage homes in my town.

I have been making this for a few years. It really is the best.. You will never go back to onion soup mix in a carton of sour cream. It's even great without the garlic.

This sounds great taste-wise, but it seems like onion rings would be hard to get on a cracker. I think I would quarter the rings. Added to my file of recipes to try. Thanks!

I'm glad you all enjoy it! The last time I made it I thought about putting some of the onions in the food processor. Anyone else do that?
