This week’s Friday Football Foodie is French Onion Dip. Oh sure, you can just take the packet of Lipton’s French Onion Soup, stir it into a 16 oz container of sour cream and call it a day. It’s not a bad dip, but it sure as hell is not a good one either. (Also, because the Lipton dip is rather salty, you keep kind of going back for more and more and more and more and more AND OH MY GOD SARAH WILL STEP AWAY FROM THE DIP ALREADY! THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE AT THIS HALLOWEEN PARTY.)
Making French Onion Dip from scratch allows the natural sweetness of the onion to come through, and pairs much better with vegetables. This is also another one you want to make at least a day ahead of time to give all the flavors a chance to open up and develop.
