Diiiiiiiiip!!! I love dip.
Mostly because it’s one of those foods that can be eaten as a snack, as lunch, as dinner…or you know? Second breakfast.
And I love dip of all kinds whether it’s hot or cold.
No discrimination here.
This dip is a classic onion chip dip made with sour cream. I caramelized the onions to add some texture, but the caramelization also adds some sweetness which I really like in my chip dips.
Paired with some plain chips and carrots, a beer, and a good show to watch and I am one happy lady.
