This is the ultimate recipe for French Onion Dip. An easy, silky dip full of tender, buttery chunks of caramelized onion with plenty of savory flavor and hints of beef. Eating it with a spoon seems like a completely sane idea! Homemade French onion dip will absolutely ruin you for anything else. This is an easy recipe that I make on repeat for parties, BBQs, and picnics. Nobody can get enough of it!Planning Tip: This dip does best if you can refrigerate it at least two hours before serving. I like to make it the day before and let it meld well in the fridge for maximum flavor. Plus making things in advance makes life easier! This recipe makes about 2 1/4 cups of dip.
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. (I use my cast iron here.)
Add the onions and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Then reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should be sweet and golden. Remove from stove and allow to cool while you prepare the rest.
Microwave cream cheese for about 30 seconds or until very warm and pliable. Whisk it until smooth.
Add sour cream and mayo, stir until smooth. (See Note #3)
Stir in powdered beef bouillon, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Add the caramelized onions. Mix until just combined. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop, overnight is better.
Serve at room temperature, garnished with minced chives if desired. Best served with crinkle cut plain potato chips!
