How to Make Baked Vidalia Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 large Vidalia onions (or equivalent), thinly sliced, to the skillet. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
  4. While onions sauté, in a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried chives, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently stir in the sauteed onions.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with buttery round crackers or your favorite chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
