French Onion Dip
Author Notes: Once, out side of the French Quarter and on a back road near Thibodaux I had dip similar to this at a Cajun shrimper bar. - thirschfeld
Serves 8
- 16 ounces sour cream, save the non fat for another day
- 1 1/2 cup yellow onion thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef stock
- kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- potato chips
- vegetable oil
- Heat a saute pan over medium heat. Coat the bottom with just enough oil to cover. Add the onions, season the with salt and pepper. Cook them slowly until they are a rich brown and very tender. Add the stock and let it simmer away until it is reduced to about a tablespoon. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
- Combine the cooled onion soup with the sour cream and stir to combine. Taste it and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Serve.

I made this for a party and it was a hit! My version had a few substitutions. I used olive oil, whole fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and only one cup of stock. I also threw in one roasted garlic glove that I had left over from another recipe. Make this!!!

Just so you know--the son I live with requested this because we had a bag of Wavy Lay's and nothing to go with it. Of course, my well-stocked pantry had no sour cream and no beef stock, so I used 12 oz. of softened cream cheese and replaced the stock with a cup of water and the flavoring from a packet of ramen. Not as good as this version, but it worked. Thanks--we really like this stuff.

This sounds like an awesome potato chip dip. One question - are you reducing the stock down to 1 Tbsp?
over 2 years ago thirschfeld
yes, reducing it with the onions, otherwise it is to much liquid and it makes the dip to soupy
