Name: Caramelized Onion and Bacon Dip
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 1 h 15 min
Yield: 6 - 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 6 slices bacon; 3 onions, halved and thinly sliced; 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce; 1 tsp. kosher salt; 1/2 tsp. black pepper; 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature; 1/2 c. mayonnaise; 2 scallions, chopped; 1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese (about 4 ounces); Chopped fresh parsley, for topping; Toasted baguette and/or sliced vegetables, for serving

Step 1Preheat the oven to 425˚. Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, about 8 minutes. (Adjust the heat if the bacon is getting too dark.) Remove to paper towels to drain, then crumble.

Step 2Add the onions to the skillet with the bacon fat and stir to coat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep brown and very soft, 35 to 40 minutes. (Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the onions are getting too dark.) Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

Step 3Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, scallions and half of the shredded cheese in a bowl until well combined. Add the caramelized onions and bacon and mix well.

Step 4Spread the dip in a 1-quart ovenproof dish and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake until hot, bubbly and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Top with parsley and serve with baguette slices and/or vegetable slices.
