My kids have been taking piano lessons for a few years. Starting in October, they study a lot of Christmas music in preparation for a Christmas performance for their grandparents. This year, a couple of my friends enrolled their kids in lessons with the same piano teacher. My kids and their friends performed in a Christmas concert at our house for all of the parents- and each other!- followed by a reception. It was fabulous!!
I first saw this recipe on Feasting with Friends. It was perfect for the occasion. We also served wine, lemonade, double cream brie with sourdough baguette slices, and mini red velvet cupcakes. My friends brought tasty appetizers as well. I loved it- I hope it becomes an annual tradition. We ate the onion dip with kettle chips and crudités. This recipe was adapted from Alton Brown, via foodnetwork.com. It is super easy and delicious- it would be perfect for the Superbowl as well!
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups diced yellow or sweet onions
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- In a saute pan over medium heat add oil, heat and add onions and salt. Cook the onions until they are caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Mix the rest of the ingredients, and then add the cooled onions.
- Refrigerate and stir again before serving.

Your dip looks great, Josette! Thanks for the mention and link-up, too. 🙂
Your Christmas concert with friends sounds like a wonderful evening at home… that’s the kind of thing that memories are made of… I bet the kids loved it as much as the adults!
Thanks, Nancy!! It was SO CUTE!! They all wore Santa hats too 🙂
Good dip and the little cupcakes were awesome too. Banking on annual tradition😃!
Yay!! If you could only see the photos…..
Love the dip Josette! I remember it from the time Nancy posted it. Yours have come out perfect :). Must be fun concert !
Thanks, Sonal. Nancy & I are often thinking on the same wavelength- I was planning to make another homemade onion dip but this one was so much more simple and was absolutely perfect.
Yummy dip, I love onion dip with exactly those chips. I could eat a whole bowl I think.
Thanks, Suzanne! I know the deal- I love it too but I especially have to ration my husband around onion dip!! 😉
Hi Josette this onion dip looks so yummy! It looks like a great dip to make ahead of time.
Thanks- you’re right. The flavors definitely concentrate over time- best to make a day ahead.
Now that I definitely like so i am pinning this! Whenever i am entertaining I am tired towards the end of my cooking and then i realize that i need to make the dip too! Hence making ahead will help! 🙂
This version look fantastic! I love your cute little bowls! 🙂
Thank you so much!! I am a HUGE Alton Brown fan! 🙂
Me, too! I’ve been watching his best of on netflix lately!
This looks great! And thank you for not using Lipton’s soup mix! (Although it wouldn’t be much of a recipe!)
No way to Lipton!! This is SO much better 🙂
