As I was making my Thanksgiving menu I knew I wanted at least one hot appetizer . Yet one of my requirements was that it could be made ahead of time and just thrown in the oven. I knew a hot dip was needed. I scoured high and low for the dip I was looking for. I didn't want a spinach dip since I was already making a cold version, yet it's amazing how many searches for warm dips turn up spinach dip! Yikes!
I found this recipe online but did not love the original ingredients. I thought the combo of ingredients would be extremely oily, so I switched it up based on some reviews and was thrilled with the end results. This was delicious and exactly what I was looking for.

3- Bake for 45 minutes until bubbling and slightly browned. Serve with crackers, sliced bread, or chips.
I wanted to let you know that I made this for a Christmas party that I hosted last weekend and it was gone in minutes. It was honestly the most delicious warm dip I've ever made and I will be making it again and again! I'm already planning on making it again this weekend for my husband and myself while we hang out in the nasty weather that's headed this way :)
ReplyDeleteWe used Hawaiian bread, buttery crackers, and tortilla chips to dip in it and the consensus was that the bread was the best.
Oh this looks yummy... I might have to make this to bring to Christmas dinner at my in-law's.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie - just wanted to let you know that I made your cheesy baked onion dip for my New Years Eve dinner and it was absolutely amazing. I will be eating the leftovers into 2012. Thanks so much for the recipe!! Happy new year.
