Recipe Introduction
"Caramelized onions are great served as a topping on pizza, or on a greasy cheeseburger, but I especially love them in this warm, cheesy dip. Combined with crispy thick-cut bacon and three different cheeses, this dip will go fast. I don't give any tips on storing leftovers, because I guarantee you won't have any!"
List of Ingredients
◦� 4 slices thick-cut bacon
◦� 2 large sweet onions (I like Vidalia), halved, then thinly sliced into half-moons
◦� � teaspoon garlic powder
◦� 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
◦� 1 teaspoon kosher salt
◦� � teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
◦� � (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
◦� � cup plain Greek yogurt
◦� 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
◦� 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
◦� ⅔ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
◦� ⅔ cup grated Swiss cheese
◦� 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
◦� Sliced fresh veggies and a sliced baguette, for serving
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 375� F. Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
Place the bacon on the rack and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until crispy.
Pour the bacon fat from the 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. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, mustard powder, � teaspoon salt, and the pepper, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions are browned, soft, and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, and Worcestershire until smooth and combined. Add the cheddar, Swiss cheese, remaining � teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of the chives and stir until completely combined. Stir in the warm caramelized onions. Crumble the bacon and stir it into the dip.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives. Serve warm, with fresh veggies and a sliced baguette.
Serves 6 to 8
