Cheesy Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, salt and Worcestershire, and continue to beat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and the Onion Jam, and mix on low speed until just combined. At this point, cook immediately or store the dip in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Scoop the dip into a baking dish and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and the crumbled bacon. Bake until the cheese melts and the dip begins to bubble, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve the dip with crackers, warm bread and vegetables.
• In a large frying pan set over medium-low heat, add the oil and then the onions. Add the salt and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed and the onions are rich golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread the onion jam on a cookie sheet and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onions; cover and cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are caramel colored, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vinegar, pepper, and salt. Use immediately, or let cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the Crunch Topping.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and next 3 ingredients at medium speed with a mixer until combined. Stir in crumbled bacon and Caramelized Onions. Spoon mixture into prepared pan, and sprinkle with Crunchy Topping.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet. Add the olive oil. When it shimmers, add the onions and salt and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden in color, 45 minutes to I hour; add a little water if needed to prevent sticking. Add the vinegar during the last minute of cooking. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet until it has rendered its fat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve the fat in the pan if you will be frying the shallots.
• Let the bacon cool.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onions, and bacon in a large bowl.
• For the optional garnish, add the vegetable oil to the skillet with the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the shallots, lower the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain the shallots on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Garnish the dip with the fried shallots, if using, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325ºF.
• Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions; cook 13 to 15 min. or until tender and golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and mayo.
• Spread onto bottom of 9-inch pie plate sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 45 to 55 min. or until golden brown. Let stand 5 min. before serving. Sprinkle with chives.
