Blue Ribbon Recipe

Once taste of this zesty French onion dip will make you never want to buy the premade stuff again. Caramelizing the onions gives them a nice flavor and brings out their sweetness. Mixed with tangy sour cream, it's a delicious dip. It does take a little time to caramelize the onions but be patient. The final product is well worth the effort. A delicious French onion dip for any party.
