Skillet Onion Dip is a dip you must add to your collection of dips. This cheesy dip is not too oniony if you are worried about that, and it will be the first one gone at your next party or celebration! Try a couple of my other dips like my Jalapeno Corn Dip or my Beer Cheese Dip as you get ready for the big game!
Skillet Onion Dip
One of the first dips I remember loving with chips was French Onion Dip. In fact, it was the only dip I would eat! I have tried other dips since I was a kid, and I love a lot of them. Cold dips are great with veggies and chips, but hot dips seem to be the hit of most parties nowadays. In fact, I was just with some friends over the weekend, and this dip was gone in a matter of minutes. The veggie tray with cold dip was untouched until all the Skillet Onion Dip was gone! This hot dip brings me back to my French Onion Dip days but definitely makes me feel more ‘adult’. There really isn’t a limit on dip options, so the more varieties, the better!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mayonnaise: If you don’t have any on hand, make homemade mayonnaise to use! Do not use miracle whip in this recipe.
Cheese: This cheesy skillet dip has both Gouda cheese and Romano cheese.
Vidalia onion: The size of the onion will help you determine how many you need to buy for your next recipe. I used 2 cups diced Vidalia onions for this dip, which means I could use 2 medium-sized onions (2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter) or 1 large onion that measures about 4 inches in diameter.
Baguettes: One of my favorite things to dip into this dip is toasted baguettes. Make your own!
How to Dice an Onion
Here are some tips to help you cut up your onion.
- Choose a sharp knife, and use the middle of the knife where it is usually the sharpest.
- Cut the onion in half, pole to pole, and lay each half cut side down on your cutting board.
- Peel the onion, and cut the halves of the onions horizontally as many times as you can. Leave a little room on the end; don’t cut all the way across. The closer the cuts, the smaller the pieces you will have.
- Next, make several cuts vertically (from pole to pole).
- Finally, slice across your cuts, and you will have your diced onion! Good job!
How to Serve Skillet Onion Dip
We loved this dip with toasted baguettes, but it would work well with crackers, pita chips, and grilled bread, too. If you wanted a lighter version of this addicting dip, you could use light mayonnaise and light sour cream.
How to Store Skillet Onion Dip
If you have any leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They will last up to three days. Reheat the dip in the microwave.
