French Onion Dip Recipe

We used to make the usual French Onion Dip Recipe with onion soup mix and sour cream but a few years ago my wife and I went to a Christmas party that the neighbors were having. About ten minutes into the party, my wife comes up to me and puts a cracker in my mouth with the best onion dip I have ever tasted on it. She looks at me and says "pretty good huh!". All I could say in between chewing was "please get the recipe!"

So we asked our neighbor for the recipe and we made it the next day for one of our parties. Everyone liked it and now it is on our party menu from now on.

Making this from scratch does take more time and we still make the soup mix version for quick party food but we always like to do something extra special for the holidays. Besides, this version tastes a lot better.
