How To Make caramelized onion & bacon dip

Step 3

Stir in remaining 1 Tbsp. corn syrup, vinegar and crumbled bacon. Mix well and remove from heat. Add sour cream and cream cheese, stirring to blend. Stir in 1-1/2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese; mix well. Pour into greased 1-qt. baking dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly around the edges. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
