French Onion Dip from Scratch
This French Onion Dip from Scratch is a total game changer compared to anything from a packet. Slowly caramelizing the onions is the secret, and yes it takes a little patience, but the result is so deeply savory and rich that you will never go back. I serve this at every party I host in Kansas City and people always hover around the snack table because of it.
