SLOW-COOKER CARAMELIZED ONION DIP
With sweet, melty onions mixed into a creamy base and brought to life with a couple of savory ingredients, this luscious dip will keep everyone hovering around the bowl and, in between bites, talking to each other about how good it is! And since that's what parties are all about, we think this is the recipe you need next time you entertain. The inspiration behind this recipe was the crowd-favorite onion dip that you buy in a tub at the grocery store, but our goal wasn't simply to replicate. While we wanted to hit the same savory and rich notes of the original dip, we also wanted to create something new that would be worth the effort to make from scratch, without demanding too much effort. This wasn't too big a challenge for the Betty Crocker Test Kitchen experts, who came up with the idea of caramelizing onions in a slow cooker, so all you really have to do is chop the onions and forget about them for the rest of the day. With such a flavorful base, it doesn't take much to round out the recipe: cream cheese, a little mayo, fresh herbs, a dash of soy sauce-that's really all there is to it. Next time you have people coming around, give this recipe a try.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat works well in this dip, but avoid using canned crab meat, as it can be watery and lack flavor.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. Full-fat cream cheese will give the dip a rich and creamy texture. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat cream cheese, as it will make the dip too thin.
- Shred the cheese finely. This will help it melt evenly into the dip.
- Use fresh green onions. Fresh green onions have a more vibrant flavor than dried green onions.
- Season the dip to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve the dip warm. Crab dip is best served warm, so make it just before you plan to serve it.
Conclusion:
Slow Cooker Crab Green Onion Dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in advance. Serve it with crackers, chips, or vegetables for a tasty and satisfying snack or appetizer.
