CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION BACON DIP



Cheesy Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 slices thick bacon
4 large Vidalia or sweet onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
One 8-ounce brick cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup grated yellow Cheddar
3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
One 10- to 12-inch boule
Crudites, for serving

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!

GEORGE AND THE DRAGON'S BACON ONION DIP



George and the Dragon's Bacon Onion Dip image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon dry English mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan
1/3 cup Onion Jam, recipe follows
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
Chopped chives, for garnish
Serving suggestions: crackers, toasted bread and vegetables
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, salt and Worcestershire, and continue to beat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and the Onion Jam, and mix on low speed until just combined. At this point, cook immediately or store the dip in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Scoop the dip into a baking dish and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and the crumbled bacon. Bake until the cheese melts and the dip begins to bubble, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve the dip with crackers, warm bread and vegetables.
  • In a large frying pan set over medium-low heat, add the oil and then the onions. Add the salt and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed and the onions are rich golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread the onion jam on a cookie sheet and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Tips:

  • Select the right cheese: Use a blend of cheeses that melt well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese. This will create a smooth and creamy dip.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: This will add a smoky and savory flavor to the dip. Make sure to drain the bacon on paper towels before adding it to the dip.
  • Sauté the onions until caramelized: This will add a sweet and slightly tangy flavor to the dip. Cook the onions over low heat until they are soft and golden brown.
  • Use a slow cooker or oven to keep the dip warm: This will allow you to serve the dip for hours without it getting cold.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: This could include tortilla chips, crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Bacon onion cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bacon and onions, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, smoky flavor, and crispy bacon bits, this dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
