Cheesy Caramelized Onion Dip with Crispy Bacon
Directions
- 1Cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of bacon grease.
- 2Caramelize the onions and shallots in the bacon grease. Add splashes of water to prevent burning.
- 3While caramelizing, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, cheddar cheese, 4 oz mozzarella, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and crispy bacon (save some for topping). Mix and set aside.
- 4In the last 2-3 minutes of caramelizing onions, add garlic, thyme, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
- 5Let the onions cool slightly before adding them to the cheese mixture.
- 6Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and reserved bacon.
- 7Bake until bubbly. Top with crispy fried onions and broil until golden.
