Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

If you need a great appetizer dip everyone is guaranteed to love… look no further. Because who doesn’t love caramelized onions, bacon, AND cheese all put together in one dip!? It’s like a holy trifecta of deliciousness! 

I serve this dip with some Ritz crackers, they are the hubby’s favorite! But I think some homemade bread or even spoon it onto some toasted baguette slices would be lovely!

      It really is a great network. No rules, no scripts. I love it. It’s honest and real. And I agree! Love all the things that aren’t good for us!
