French Onion Dip

[blissful]

I know NO ONE will admit to liking this but when I was growing up, we put french onion soup mix into a pint of sour cream and called it chip dip!
Sometimes when you grow up with something, you crave it when you get older, just a little, once in a while.
I wanted to make some and had no french onion soup mix, so I chopped onions very small and mixed in some marmite, and it is almost PERFECT!

I met a guy once that liked that french onion soup mix added to half sour cream and half cream cheese. That was good as well with chips.

Anyone else? ~Bliss

Hey--I love this stuff. A nice Lay's chip with French onion dip made with Lipton's onion soup mix--heaven! I also love the Knorr's vegetable soup mixes mixed with sour cream for a dip for a veggie platter. Then there's Velveeta and ro-tel dip, and ro-tel/Velveeta/Italian sausage dip with Frito scoops......Yum!

I just go for the regular stuff:
1 pkg Lipton Onion Soup Mix/Dip
1 16 oz container Sour Cream

Right off the back of the box.

The stuff is addictive. If I make it, I won't stop until it's gone.

MMMMMMMMMMMM! The only addition I make is a splash of worcestershire sauce. I could (and have) eaten this stuff with a spoon. Why do you suppose it tastes so good?

I love that as well! I grew up on it or Dean's French Onion chip dip When I was a kid, I played a game called Dungeons & Dragons (yes I'm a nerd at heart ... don't look like one, but I still think like one), and we would get together in groups of about 6-8 people and each would bring snacks and pop, and Dean's was a big favorite

...Why do you suppose it tastes so good?

I think it's the beefy flavor plus the salt. To me, it's comparable to using dehydrated onion to fresh. The dehyd's have a little flavor that you can't reproduce in fresh onions.

I love that as well! I grew up on it or Dean's French Onion chip dip ...

That's what we buy ... YUM! I love it with Lay's Rippled chips. Dip one in and let it soak in a little so it's a little crunchy and a little soft. Mmmmm... The Lipton's mixed with sour cream rocks just as well though . Basketball playoffs are upon us, might just have to whip some of this up to go with other finger foods this week ...

I enjoyed some last night, while watching late-night tv..... and it's now gone!

I make mine with the soup mix and sour cream, also.

Springtime garlic chives, fresh from the garden, mixed with sour cream and a little Hellman's mayo makes a pretty nice substitute for the soup mix dip.

My husband still does that. It's OK, but I like the one from the carton much better.
If you can find Lipton's (no substitute) Ranch Dressing mix, it makes a delicious dip!

I have never ever liked anything else but the french onion soup package in sour cream. It's a tiny bit on the salty side so I always use more sour cream than the box says to, and it's delicious....I may just have to go out and get myself some more now!

I love french onion soup mix dip.
Recently I've been making another lazy onion dip. It's baked, so I guess not as lazy but still.
1 cup of finely diced onions
1 cup of mayo
1 cup of shredded cheese ,a strong cheddar or swiss works well.
Mix together. Spoon evenly into pie plate . Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until bubbly and brown on top.

Soo good. Even better when its leftover and cold.

OH so I am not alone, that feels much better, group hug!

((((((hugs))))))), blissful!

when i was a kiddo, i wanted french onion dip, & we didn't have any, so i mixed cream cheese, milk, & dried minced onion. i was like 7. just like onion dip after it blended together in the fridge!

 

[msmofet]

i also make it with lipton french onion soup mix and sour cream BUT i cook a small amount of bacon drain it very well and grind it in the food processor then add it to the dip. people ask me why does mine taste different and i just smile to myself and say i can't imagine. i like to dip original plain wise chips, wise sour cream and onion chips and doritos.
