Reviews
This is my go-to recipe for parties & family get togethers. Everyone loves it and it’s super easy to make. It’s way better than the soup mix.
I know fresh ingredients are better for me but I am going back to the Lipton onion soup package for my dip. This was time consuming to prep the onions and came out sweet.
This dip sucks! Truly. Buy it from a can or make Ina Gartens. This is the illegitimate baby of the two. Just gross.
It’s simply perfect!
Terrific! Better the next day. I used yellow onions and it was still plenty sweet.
I personally don’t like the sweet onion. I think I’ll try again with white onion.
I made it exactly as written and though it was very good, it was too sweet for my taste. If I make it again, I will use yellow or white onions. Texture of this dip is perfect.
This is by far the best homemade French onion dip recipe I have come across!!
This was a complete hit!!! Absolutely great! I used finely diced leeks as well. Also, I added the Worcestershire sauce directly to the onion mixture as it was almost done caramelizing. Adding it to the cooking onions deepened their color and sweetness. This recipe will remain in my “go to” list of “crowd pleasing” recipes.
I make this dip often! I don’t even need to look at the recipe or directions. I do not add whorchestershire, didn’t care for that flavor combo. Added garlic powder – a lot. This gives the dip that added punch that is desperately needs. Also I increase the sour cream and use less mayo. It’s a very forgiving recipe. It’s best made a day ahead or at least 4 hours ahead.
