I am a food enthusiast living in Northeastern Ohio. Having lived in several states, before landing in Ohio, I have experienced many different food cultures. My belief is that food nourishes our bodies, hearts and minds. Food brings people together, there is nothing better than enjoying a good meal with family and friends. That being said, I have stacks of recipes from over the decades in 3-ring binders, old cookbooks and digital recipes on my computer. My original thought was to catalog all of them on my computer and get rid of the binders and such. My next thought was to share them. If they are on this website, they were worth sharing I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! (I will try my best to credit the original creator/author of the recipe if I can).
Hot Caramelized Onion Dip with Bacon and Gruyere is the ultimate onion dip! The flavor of the sweet, caramelized onions covered in so much rich, creamy, cheesy goodness makes this dip the hit of every party!

Hot Caramelized Onion Dip with Bacon and Gruyere is the ultimate onion dip! The flavor of the sweet, caramelized onions covered in so much rich, creamy, cheesy goodness makes this dip the hit of every party!

Sweet onion, bacon, gooey cheese all mixed in sour cream and mayo. You can’t go wrong with that.

It’s rich, creamy, and flavorful and sure to be a hit at your next party. Cook the dip in a small cast iron skillet to get it extra golden and bubbly.

Serve with baguette, apple slices, or Fritos. Try serving leftovers (if there are any!) over a baked potato.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bacon strips
  • 2 sweet onions halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • 1/4 teaspoon tabasco
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere Cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Crumble.
  • Add onions, sugar, and salt to bacon fat in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until onions turn a deep golden-brown color. This can take as long as 20 minutes. If onions start to burn, turn heat down to medium-low.
  • Add sherry and cook 1 minute. Stir in thyme and tabasco. Remove from heat.
  • Mix together sour cream and mayo in a medium bowl. Add crumbled bacon, cheese, onion mixture, and black pepper. Mix together well and transfer to a 2-cup baking dish.
  • Bake 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.

Yield: 2 cups
