Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Onion Dip
I have a few favorite dips that I like to make. This is one that I LOVE to make and try to make normally when it is just me eating it. The color of this dip is so vibrant and it smells so amazing.
Use Vidalia sweet onions for the best flavors. After cooking the bacon, use only 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings. Any more and you run the risk of the dip being too rich. Allow the Vidalia onions to caramelize and cook before adding them to the slow cooker.
This dip refrigerates and reheats nicely. Store the leftovers in a container. Heat up either on the stove top or in the microwave. Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Onion Dip is a great dip for parties, potlucks or other events where a nice flavorful, yet slightly sweet dip is needed.
This dip works great with tortilla chips, a thick potato chip, pita chips and I’d even use various veggies to dip it. Sliced Peppers, celery, carrots, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes would be excellent with it. With many guests needing to be gluten free or less carb, using veggies to dip is a great way to help with that.
