Cooked French Onion Dip in a Sluggish Cooker
Cooking onions for an extended time, say 7 to 9 hours, transforms them from their original bite into a sweet-savory delight that'll make you yearn for more. Dive your choice of chips, crackers, or veggies into this recipe for a heavenly Slow-Cooker French Onion Dip experience.
If you don't own a slow cooker like a Crock-Pot, don't fret! You can still prepare this delicious dip at home using alternative methods. Here's an easy workaround:
Gameplan:1. For the oven method, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss your chopped onions with melted butter, spread them thinly on a baking sheet, and roast for about 50-60 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until they're golden and caramelized. Once done, let them cool to room temperature.
- For the stovetop method, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions, stirring often, until they're soft and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes). Add a minced garlic clove, cook for an additional minute, then stir in a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Let the onions cool.
Next, combine the cooled onions, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Garnish with chives and let it chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
