PAULA DEEN'S CARAMELIZED VIDALIA ONION AND BLUE CHEESE HOT DIP

This is a quick and easy dip to make that everyone seems to love. I used panko bread crumbs because that is what I had in my pantry. I also found that you needed to cut the onion pieces into smaller strips (I took the onion and cut it in half and then half again). I also used Clemson Blue Cheese.

Provided by á-167560

Number Of Ingredients 6

Makes about 8 cups
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
8 ounces fontina cheese, shredded
2 cups finely chopped Vidalia or other sweet onions
1 cup mayonnaise
5 slices bacon, chopped and cooked until crisp

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese and next 3 ingredients until well combined. Spoon mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with bacon. Note: Two (10-ounce) bags thawed frozen chopped onions can be substituted for Vidalias or sweet onions. Dry the onions well between paper towels; otherwise, the extra moisture in the onions will make the dip watery.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Vidalia onions are mild and sweet, making them perfect for caramelizing. If you can't find Vidalia onions, you can use another sweet onion, such as a Walla Walla onion or a Maui onion.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently: This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Don't rush the process, or the onions will burn.
  • Use a good quality blue cheese: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dip. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful, with a strong aroma.
  • Don't overcook the dip: Once the cheese is melted and the dip is hot and bubbly, it's done. Overcooking will make the dip tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the dip immediately: This is when it's at its best. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables for dipping.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Caramelized Vidalia Onion and Blue Cheese Hot Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
