Onion, Bacon & Roasted Garlic Dip

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In my honest opinion, no holiday celebration is complete without onion dip. It’s classic and everyone loves it. I first posted this recipe in 2010 and decided to give it a little make-over just in time for our upcoming holiday get-togethers. It needs to be made a day ahead to allow the flavors to mix and mingle, saving time on the big day to focus on the turkey, ham, or whatever holiday dinner center piece you’re making. If you’re looking for holiday appetizer ideas, I hope you give this one a try! Sweet caramelized onions meet roasted garlic and crispy bacon in a creamy dip – trust me, your guests will love it and it will disappear fast!

Onion, Bacon & Roasted Garlic Dip

Recipe type: Appetizer

Ingredients
  • 1 head of garlic
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • ½ tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Remove the loose papery skin from the head of garlc and slice enough off the top so some of the cloves are exposed.
  3. Drizzle ½ tablespoon olive oil over the top of the garlic
  4. Wrap the garlic in tin foil and roast on a baking sheet for 20-30 minutes
  5. Once roasted remove from the oven and set aside to cool
  6. In a large pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Once cooled store in a baggie and keep in the fridge for serving the next day.
  7. Remove most of the bacon fat from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind
  8. Melt the butter over medium low heat in the same pan as the bacon fat
  9. Add the sliced onions, tossing to coat in the butter
  10. Caramelize the onions by cooking them over medium low to low heat. This process will take at least 40 minutes. You want the onions to slowly brown and soften, so adjust the heat as needed to keep them from browning too fast
  11. Once the onions are a deep golden color remove them from the heat
  12. Give the onions a rough chop
  13. In a medium bowl, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skin. Mash the cloves with a fork – it doesn’t need to be completely smooth, but mashed enough so there aren’t large chunks of garlic
  14. Add the chopped onions to the garlic and stir to combine
  15. Stir in the sour cream
  16. Cover and refridgerate overnight until ready to serve
  17. Before serving, stir the onion dip and check for seasoning. Add salt to taste.
  18. Top the onion dip with the crispy bacon and fresh parsley
  19. Serve with crackers
