Best Baked Caramelized Onion And Bacon Dip Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION AND BACON DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In an oven-safe skillet (8-10 inches), cook bacon over medium-high heat.
• Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to let cool. Do not clean out the skillet.
• To the skillet with bacon grease, add the onions and sugar. Cook 20 minutes over medium heat, stirring often. (When onions start to stick to the pan, scrape them up.)
• Add the wine. Cook down to half (2-3 minutes).
• Add the sour cream, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
• (If you want a thicker dip, move the ingredients to a smaller over-safe dish, such as a 6 inch skillet. If you don't mind a thinner dip, continue on with the skillet you cooked everything in thus far.)
• Crumble the cooked bacon and add most of it to the cream cheese mixture, reserving a little for the topping.
• Top with the remaining cup of cheese and reserved bacon.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. Garnish with parsley before serving.
• Serve warm with baguettes, pretzels, chips, crackers, or bagel crisps.

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION BACON DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the bacon on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Roast the bacon until crispy, about 20 minutes.
• Pour the bacon fat from the sheet pan into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely combined. Stir in the warm onions.
• Cut the top of the boule off and hollow out the center. Place the boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Save the scooped out chunks of bread and cut the removed top into pieces to dip later.
• Fill the boule with the onion mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheeses, holding back a tablespoon of each. Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and arrange them like the rays of the sun around the perimeter of the dip, then sprinkle the remaining cheese in the middle, overlapping the bacon to make an extra-cheesy center. Broil, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted beneath, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with crudites and reserved chunks of bread and use the bread bowl/bacon for dipping!
