Ingredients

  • 6 strips of bacon cooked crisp and minced
  • 3 onions thinly sliced or chopped (any variety works)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions white and green parts
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper
  • Chips for dipping

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-low, add butter to melt. Add in all of the onions and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add in the wine, a few splashes at a time (it will evaporate). Turn heat to low and allow onions to continue to cook until amber brown. Let cool to warm.
  • Cream together the mayo, sour cream and cream cheese. Add in green onions (reserving a pinch for topping), garlic, worcestershire, and all the seasonings. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
  • Fold in most of the bacon and caramelized onions. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with remaining bacon and green onions.
  • Serve with chips!
