This is my go-to Dip. It’s sooooo delicious and everyone always ask ‘who made this’ and ‘do you think she’ll give me the recipe.’ It’s imperative to let it set up so let it marry for at least 4 hours in my opinion. A must for any party!!
I made this dip for Christmas and it was a hit! I do agree with some reviews need longer cook time on the onions for a true caramelized onion. It does need more spices in my opinion so I added about a tablespoon of dry ranch mix and a few dashes of all seasoning and it was great! I even made it again for New Years!
I’ve made this dip numerous times and it is always a crowd pleaser! There is never any leftovers. Would recommend.
So glad to hear you love this dip, Taylor!
Modify to your liking, Ree!
