4 cups (1 1/2 large Vidalia onions), coarsely chopped 2 Tablespoons butter ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese ½ cup mayonnaise ½ cup (4 ounces) cream cheese ½ cup sour cream ½ teaspoon hot sauce ¾ teaspoon salt 1 garlic clove, minced
Sweet onions are sautéed and then baked together with sharp Cheddar and cream cheese. The result is a scrumptiously rich, warm and creamy dip that is a real crowd pleaser!
Serve on your favorite platter, surrounded with pita crisps, bagel chips or crackers. Garnish the finished dip with a light dusting of paprika and flat-leafed parsley sprigs.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the onions in butter until translucent and tender, about 12 - 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°. <br>Place the mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, salt and garlic in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the cooked onions and cheddar cheese, and pulse 3 – 4 times, until combined. Taste for seasonings. Pour the dip into a 1 ½-quart casserole. Bake uncovered for 20 – 25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
