  • French Onion Dip

This homemade French onion dip is way better than store bought. It has caramelized onions that give it a great depth in flavor, it is even better the next day so it can be made ahead of time. It will be a great addition to your next party, game night, or gathering.

French onion dip makes for a great dip to go with chips. If you like snacking while watching the game, or have a potluck or family gathering coming up, this dip would make a great addition. My husband loves this dip and requests it when he has a big game he wants to watch. It would go great on a super bowl table. It would also go great with veggies or corn chips. It is super simple to make, the only cooking involved is cooking the onions, so it comes together quick.

This dip is best served chilled the next day as it allows time for the flavors to develop.  It can be eaten the same day and at room temperature.  Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.  Enjoy!

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil and butter.

Dice one large or 2 medium onions.

Add onion, butter, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Stir frequently so that onions do not burn.

Cook until caramelized about 10-15 minutes.

Add ranch packet and stir until completely incorporated.

Place sour cream in a medium size bowl.

Add onion mixture to sour cream.

Stir until completely incorporated.

Let cool to room temp, then cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Will last for 3 days in the refrigerator.
