How To Serve

I like Pan-Fried Onion Dip with both veggie sticks and a really crunchy potato chip like Kettle chips. It’s such a thick and creamy dip, you can slather the leftovers on a cheeseburger. So good! It also makes a great topping for a baked potato.

Pan-Fried Onion Dip is a cool and creamy appetizer that is great with veggie sticks or homemade chips.

How To Make Pan-Fried Onion Dip

Cook the onions. Heat oil and butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne and turn heat down. Cook another 20 minutes.
Make the creamy base. With an electric mixer beat cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
Refrigerate. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 to 3 hours before serving.

Recipe Tips

To get the best onion flavor, it’s very important to cook the onions low and slow. Don’t get impatient and try to speed up the process. It really takes time for the flavor to develop.

Make sure the cream cheese is softened or it won’t fully mix in.

You can process the finished dip in a food processor if you want to break the onions down a little and make the dip easier to scoop.

The flavor gets even better with time. Plan on making it at least 8 hours ahead of time.
