French Onion Dip

• Sour Cream: I’ve found that full fat Sour Cream works best for dips, allowing it to mix and blend with the other ingredients.
• Cream Cheese: I use regular Kraft Cream Cheese Blocks when making dips, and this will need to be at room temperature so it mixes easier.
• Dry Onion Soup Mix: This is the third main ingredient in this recipe, and we always have a package in the pantry, making this an easy dip to whip up!
• Dried Onions: For extra onion flavor, reach into your spice cabinet and pull out some dried onion flakes to stir into the mix.
• Salt and Pepper: Season to your taste preferences.

French Onion Dip Variation Suggestions:

While most of the ingredients in the main recipe are fairly standard, sometimes you might find that you’re missing an ingredient that you need to make a substitution for, or just want to include some additional ingredients. 

I am a huge proponent of personalizing recipes to your personal taste preferences!

Here are some suggestions to help inspire your creativity when making French Onion Dip:

• Greek Yogurt – I have substituted this in for Sour Cream in a pinch, and can also work instead of cream cheese. 
• Mayonnaise – This also works as a substitute for either cream cheese or sour cream.
• Herbs and Spices – If you’d like to easily add some additional flavors, consider mixing in some herbs and spices. Suggestions can include: Basil, Chives, Cilantro, Rosemary, or Thyme.
• Spice it up – To add some spicy flavor, add some hot sauce and red pepper flakes!
• Add diced ham or chicken. 
• Onions: Caramelized Onions are a BIG HIT when added to this dip!
• Garlic: I keep diced garlic in the refrigerator. If I’m sauteing onions to caramelize them, I’ll usually add in some diced garlic as well.
• Worcestershire: I love adding worcestershire to any recipe I can 🙂 

To begin, gather all ingredients.

Combine the cream cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl.

Stir in the package of Onion Soup Mix.

Add in any additional spices and seasonings, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let it set, then serve!
