CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION BACON DIP



Cheesy Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 slices thick bacon
4 large Vidalia or sweet onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
One 8-ounce brick cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup grated yellow Cheddar
3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
One 10- to 12-inch boule
Crudites, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the bacon on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Roast the bacon until crispy, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour the bacon fat from the sheet pan into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely combined. Stir in the warm onions.
  • Cut the top of the boule off and hollow out the center. Place the boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Save the scooped out chunks of bread and cut the removed top into pieces to dip later.
  • Fill the boule with the onion mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheeses, holding back a tablespoon of each. Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and arrange them like the rays of the sun around the perimeter of the dip, then sprinkle the remaining cheese in the middle, overlapping the bacon to make an extra-cheesy center. Broil, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted beneath, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with crudites and reserved chunks of bread and use the bread bowl/bacon for dipping!

FRENCH ONION DIP SANDWICHES (SLOW COOKER)



French Onion Dip Sandwiches (Slow Cooker) image

This combines the greatness that is French onion soup with French dips. It is not supposed to be an 'authentic' French dip recipe, because authentic is often boring. These are yummy sandwiches for those that like roast beef and French onion soup. It is mainly on the slow cooker, but it requires a bit of prep on the stove, too.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Sandwich Recipes     Beef

Time 7h51m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 large onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
9 tablespoons water
¼ cup dry vermouth
2 ½ cups beef stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 pounds rump roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 French rolls, split
1 (6 ounce) package grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large, deep pot. Add onions and toss to coat with oil. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir until onions start to brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Stir sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the onions in the pot. Continue to cook, stirring once halfway through, until onions are well-browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Stir 3 tablespoons of water into the pot, scraping bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 3 minutes; repeat with an additional 3 tablespoons water. Simmer for 3 minutes more and repeat. Add vermouth; scrape bits from the bottom and sides of the pot. Cook for 4 minutes more. Add stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes; do not boil. Add black pepper. Discard bay leaf. Remove pot from heat and allow soup to cool. Pour into the slow cooker, but don't turn it on.

Cook the meat, holding it down with tongs, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meat carefully to the slow cooker. Spoon the soup over the meat so that it is topped with a few onions. Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours.
  • Remove meat from the slow cooker. Slice it diagonally and return slices to the slow cooker. Continue to cook on Low for 2 hours more.

George and the Dragon's Bacon Onion Dip image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon dry English mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan
1/3 cup Onion Jam, recipe follows

2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, salt and Worcestershire, and continue to beat until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small eggplant
1 onion
3 cloves garlic (increase or decrease to taste)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
salt
black pepper, coarsely ground
1/4 cup cilantro, loosely packed roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Rub eggplant and onion with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake about 25-30 minutes, until the eggplant and onion have softened, turning once.
  • Add the garlic to the baking sheet at the baking halfway point, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool until able to handle.
  • Peel the eggplant and garlic and place into food processor (easiest way to get the eggplant is to cut in half and scoop it out with a spoon).
  • Cut the onion into quarters or large chunks and add to the food processor.
  • Add vinegar, lemon juice, parmesan, salt and pepper.
  • Pulse until it is of a dip or spread consistency.
  • Add cilantro and briefly pulse.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Use a sharp knife to finely chop the onion. This will help to release its flavor and prevent it from overpowering the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt instead. Just be sure to add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar to give it a tangy flavor.
  • If you want a thicker dip, you can add a little bit of cornstarch or flour. Just be sure to whisk it in slowly to avoid lumps.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite chips, vegetables, or crackers.

Conclusion:

There you have it! These are just a few tips for making the best onion dip ever. Remember, the key is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and to not be afraid to experiment with different flavors. So get creative and have fun! Your friends and family will love it.
