Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bacon strips, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds yellow onions, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
For serving: potato chips, celery, carrots, or other raw vegetables

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered out. Drain bacon, reserving the fat in the pan.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and salt. Cook onions over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and deep golden in color, about 1 hour. Add water if needed. Add the vinegar in the last minute of cooking. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onions, and bacon.
  • Add vegetable oil to the skillet with bacon fat. Reheat on medium-high until the oil shimmers. Add the shallots, lower the heat, and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain, and garnish dip with fried shallots.

This dip is delicious, but it's a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less cream cheese or sour cream.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I loved this dip. The caramelized onions were sweet and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

This dip is super easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

I've tried many caramelized onion dip recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of bacon takes it to the next level.

My family and I have been making this dip for years. It's a classic for a reason - it's delicious, easy to make, and always a hit at parties. We love serving it with potato chips, but it's also great with vegetables or crackers.
