Hello everyone, welcome back. Today we
0:03
are going to make a French onion dip.
0:07
The perfect appetizer for your ruffled
0:09
chips or your sliced up veggies, however
0:13
you want to do it. We're going to take
0:15
some onions. This is all about the
0:17
caramelization that we're going to
0:19
create with these onions to give it that
0:21
nice sweetness to this dish. And we've
0:24
got a creamy base that we're going to
0:27
make, which is going to be really easy.
0:29
And we got some seasonings to kind of
0:30
just pull it all together. Grab some big
0:34
yellow onions and we're going to slice
0:36
these up. Now, this recipe is going to
0:39
call for three cups of sliced onions.
0:43
And I'm using the yellow onions.
0:46
Truth be known. I can't eat sweet
0:49
onions,
0:51
so I have to use the yellow onions. But
0:53
they add the most delicious flavor to
0:56
anything. Anyway,
0:58
take off both ends,
1:01
the outer layer.
1:05
I'm going to cut it in half.
1:10
And then what we're going to do is run
1:11
our knife through the onion to make
1:13
slices.
1:16
Now, you can already see the lines going
1:18
across the onion. So, you can just
1:19
follow that as close as you can. We want
1:22
these very thin. And then we're going to
1:25
measure these out because this recipe
1:26
does call for three cups. We want to
1:29
make sure we have that.
1:31
There we go.
1:37
This was a big onion to begin with. So,
1:41
but you do know that onions melt down.
1:46
So, I'm going to finish this one here
1:47
and we'll see where we're at. There's
1:49
lots of game days coming up.
1:52
This is a perfect recipe for that. If
1:56
you like soccer, you know what I'm
1:58
talking about.
1:59
The World Cup is on its way right now,
2:02
right?
2:04
You got barbecues, picnics,
2:07
outdoor adventures,
2:09
wherever you need to bring something,
2:11
bring this. And you might want to double
2:13
the recipe. That's how good it is. All
2:16
right, let's see what we got. Using a
2:20
four cup measuring tool here because
2:21
that's what I had. So if I squish it
2:23
down, I'm probably around the 3 and 1/2
2:25
cup mark. But you know what? We're
2:27
totally fine with that.
2:29
All right, you guys. We're going to
2:30
start the caramelization process of
2:33
these onions. We're going to start in a
2:36
large skillet on medium heat. Medium
2:40
heat.
2:44
Now, I didn't have to slice up this
2:47
onion. These were very large onions. So,
2:51
one of them made this amount right here,
2:53
which is great. I don't have to worry
2:55
about this one here,
2:58
unless you're doubling up the recipe.
3:00
All right. On the medium heat, we're
3:02
going to add in four tablespoon of
3:04
butter. This is really going to help
3:06
with the caramelization of the onions
3:09
and it'll keep the oil from burning
3:12
as we're cooking this. Now, this is time
3:14
consuming, only about 10 to 15 minutes.
3:16
And then after that, everything else
3:18
kind of comes together.
3:22
And then to that,
3:26
we're going to add about 1/4 cup of some
3:31
olive oil, avocado oil, or if you have
3:34
canola oil or vegetable oil, anything
3:36
like that.
3:42
We're going to let that heat up.
3:44
And you'll know it's heated up when the
3:46
butter is melted and nice and sizzly.
3:49
That's what we're looking for. And then
3:51
the oil prevents the butter from burning
3:54
also. So, we want caramelized onions,
3:57
not burnt ones.
3:59
All right. Once we get everything melted
4:01
down here. There we go. Perfect.
4:05
We're going to add in our onions.
4:13
And then we're going to season them.
4:18
Some salt.
4:21
Be generous.
4:26
There we go. That'll help sweat down
4:28
those onions.
4:30
And then we're going to put in some
4:32
black pepper.
4:34
Or if you want a little more kick to
4:36
this dip, then you can do cayenne
4:38
pepper. But don't go too crazy.
4:43
This is where our flavor is going to
4:44
come from.
4:46
So, you want to make sure you have good
4:48
seasoning in there.
4:51
That's all you need.
4:54
Now, we're going to stir these all up.
4:58
Get them nice and coated with the butter
4:59
and the oil and the seasonings
5:03
all through the onions here.
5:06
Now, we're going to sauté these down for
5:08
10 minutes.
5:11
So, it's been 10 minutes. This is what
5:13
we're down to. Now, what you want to do,
5:17
keep an eye on it and keep stirring
5:20
every so often until we get these nice
5:23
and caramelized
5:26
and soften down even more.
5:28
Took me 10 minutes to get to this stage
5:30
here after the original 10 minutes. We
5:34
are done with these. I'm going to turn
5:36
off the burner. We're going to move
5:37
these over to a bowl. Let these cool
5:41
down somewhat and then we're going to
5:43
make that creamy base that's going to go
5:46
with this. Now, what I would do is just
5:48
try an onion and make sure your
5:50
seasonings are where you want them
5:53
because this is pretty much going to be
5:54
our flavor profile here.
5:57
So, I'm going to get one.
6:00
I'm going to blow extensively on it
6:02
forever and give that a try.
6:17
I get that caramelization in there.
6:20
Fabulous. Oh my goodness. Love that
6:23
flavor in there.
6:26
All right, let's put it in a bowl. We
6:28
want to cool this down somewhat before
6:30
we add it to our cream mixture, which
6:32
I'm going to make here as soon as we get
6:34
these in the bowl.
6:40
Now, if you want to take these even
6:41
further and brown them even more, you
6:43
can do that. Also, I'm going to spread
6:45
these out a little bit. That's going to
6:48
cool faster. You can put these in the
6:50
refrigerator if you want to do that. You
6:53
can lay these on a sheet pan,
6:57
spread them out if you want to do that.
6:59
There we go. The cream base is three
7:01
ingredients.
7:03
We're going to be using some cream
7:05
cheese, 4 oz. Just take it right off the
7:08
block. Now, you want to make sure this
7:09
is very soft. So, before you even start
7:12
the process with the onions, I'd be
7:13
pulling out your cream cheese and let it
7:15
sit out.
7:17
Now, if you didn't do that step, you can
7:18
just put this onto a microwave safe
7:21
plate. After you've unwrapped it, place
7:23
it in the microwave for about 10
7:24
seconds. Give it a check. Make sure it's
7:26
nice and squishy, but not too like
7:29
runny. Okay, mine is squishy enough. You
7:33
want it to blend well with the other
7:35
ingredients.
7:37
It has to play well.
7:40
All right. Next, sour cream.
7:43
We're going to do
7:47
Whoop! Half a cup. Now, I'm just in a
7:50
large mixing bowl here. That's where
7:52
everything is going to happen.
7:56
Now, the cream cheese just adds
7:58
something to it, right? nice texture,
8:00
creaminess,
8:02
and so does the sour cream. It adds a
8:04
creaminess to it, a little tanginess to
8:08
it.
8:12
That's what we're looking for.
8:15
All right. And then we're going to add
8:18
in half a cup of mayonnaise.
8:22
Now, I use the avocado mayonnaise,
8:26
sometimes the olive oil mayonnaise,
8:29
sometimes Helman's. It all depends on
8:31
what I have. So, we're going to measure
8:33
this out. There we go. We're going to
8:35
measure this out.
8:38
Half a cup. This is going to be the base
8:43
for the onions.
8:48
Now, we're going to take an electric
8:50
hand mixer, or you can put this in your
8:52
stand mixer. You're going to want
8:53
something so that you can cream this all
8:55
together and get a smooth base. All
8:59
right, I had a blip while I was
9:01
videoing. I lost the sound, so I am
9:04
doing a voice over for the rest of the
9:07
video here. Now, we are combining the
9:10
three ingredients together with the
9:12
electric hand mixer, and we're going to
9:15
make sure that it is nice and creamy and
9:18
well combined before we move forward.
9:20
So, I'm just going to take a spatula and
9:23
go through it and make sure that it is
9:25
nice and creamy and well combined.
9:30
Now, it's time to bring back over our
9:32
caramelized onions. Don't those look
9:34
good? Now, I did blot some of the butter
9:37
oil off of them with a paper towel. I
9:40
wish I hadn't have done that as um that
9:42
adds flavor, so don't do that.
9:46
Now, we're going to go ahead and add the
9:49
onions to the mixture here. And we're
9:53
going to fold it in. You're not going to
9:55
use your electric hand mixer to beat all
9:57
that in because we do want the onions to
10:00
be kind of chunky in there. So, just use
10:02
your spatula and then just blend the
10:04
onions into that cream cheese,
10:07
mayonnaise, sour cream mixture until we
10:09
get it well combined.
10:13
Let's serve it up.
10:19
Here they come, you guys. It's the only
10:21
thing I'm going to use to dip into my
10:24
French onion dip.
10:27
The ruffled chips. The ruffles.
10:30
Now remember, I'm doing a voice over, so
10:33
they're not gonna come together. All
10:35
right, the chips. Oh, they go good with
10:37
the dip. Let's serve it up on a platter.
10:42
Yeah, fill it up. That's how you do it,
10:48
y'all. Serve it up like that. Doesn't
10:50
that look delicious? Look at all those
10:52
onions in there. Grab a chip,
10:56
spin it around in the dip.
10:59
Uh, get some extra hands in there.
11:04
Uh oh, he had a chip breakage there. All
11:06
right, let's give this a try.
11:15
Crunchy chip. Oh, creamy French onion
11:19
dip with those caramelized onions. I
11:22
just gave it a kiss.
11:25
It is so delicious. Oh my gosh, y'all.
11:28
Do not go to the store and get French
11:31
onion dip from the refrigerated section.
11:34
Make your own. A simple I think six
11:37
ingredients made this. And then you can
11:40
serve this up with your chips or you can
11:42
serve it up with like vegetable sticks
11:45
or you can do pa chips. I can't get out
11:48
of the dip. I have to go in for another
11:50
bite. It is so delicious. And I have to
11:53
tell you that after I made it and I
11:55
showed my mom a picture of it, I had to
11:57
go over there with some.
11:59
She wanted her share of this, too. All
12:02
right, you guys. There you go. Another
12:05
appetizer. Perfect for summer, the
12:07
games, the World Cup, anything you need
12:10
this dip for. Go check out my other one
12:13
also that I just made, the boat house
12:15
dip. That was a taco flavored one. All
12:18
right, you guys. You know what to do.
