Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan
1 tablespoon butter
2 medium onions, quartered lengthwise then very thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cube beef bouillon
1/2 cup water
Black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme, 1/3 palm full
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
2 cups sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened in microwave for 20 seconds on high
Pinch salt, optional
2 tablespoons chopped chives, 5 to 6 blades
2 sacks chips (recommended: Onion and Garlic flavor Terra brand Yukon gold chips or other specialty chips of choice)
2 large carrots, peeled then very thinly sliced on a heavy angle
1 very firm medium sized zucchini, very thinly sliced on a heavy angle

Steps:

  • Place a medium skillet over medium to medium high heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil and the butter. Melt butter into oil then add onions and garlic cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add bouillon cube to the pan with 1/2 cup water and cook until it "melts" coats onions, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Season the onions with pepper, thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to quick-cool a bit.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and softened creamed cheese using a rubber spatula. Stir in the onion mixture until completely combined, add salt if necessary and adjust your seasonings. Serve at room temperature or chill. Garnish with chives.
  • Pack up chips as-is. Season the veggie chips with salt and pack up with a paper towel to capture excess moisture in a plastic food bag. If serving at home, salt vegetables in single layer, let stand 5 minutes then pat dry. Arrange chips and vegetable chips around dip and serve.

JIM'S FRENCH ONION DIP - OLD DUTCH / LAYS (COPYCAT)



Jim's French Onion Dip - Old Dutch / Lays (Copycat) image

I reverse-engineered Old Dutch French Onion Dip and created an easy "Fresh" alternative that I personally think tastes far better than Old Dutch or Lays without all the unpronounceable additives and preservatives. I hesitated to refer to this as a Copycat recipe, as it is an insult with how fresh, flavorful, and tasty this amazing dip truly is. Once you try this, I'm sure you would regret ever needing to buy a store bought brand version ever again! This French Onion Dip makes a perfect chip or vegetable dip and you are sure to gobble it up!! The suggested number of servings may appear to be a little high, but according to Nutritional Data, 1 suggested serving size for dip from a commercial product is 2 Tbls.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, flavorful onions are essential, and a good-quality dry white wine will make a big difference in the taste of the dip.
  • Don't be afraid to caramelize the onions slowly. This will develop their sweetness and depth of flavor. Be patient and stir them frequently to prevent them from burning.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for the best texture and flavor. A blend of sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan will give you a rich, creamy dip that's perfect for dipping.
  • Season the dip to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, until the dip is perfectly seasoned.
  • Serve the dip warm with your favorite dippers. Chips, crackers, or vegetables are all great options.
