Hot Artichoke Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION AND BACON DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In an oven-safe skillet (8-10 inches), cook bacon over medium-high heat.
• Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to let cool. Do not clean out the skillet.
• To the skillet with bacon grease, add the onions and sugar. Cook 20 minutes over medium heat, stirring often. (When onions start to stick to the pan, scrape them up.)
• Add the wine. Cook down to half (2-3 minutes).
• Add the sour cream, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
• (If you want a thicker dip, move the ingredients to a smaller over-safe dish, such as a 6 inch skillet. If you don't mind a thinner dip, continue on with the skillet you cooked everything in thus far.)
• Crumble the cooked bacon and add most of it to the cream cheese mixture, reserving a little for the topping.
• Top with the remaining cup of cheese and reserved bacon.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. Garnish with parsley before serving.
• Serve warm with baguettes, pretzels, chips, crackers, or bagel crisps.
