    Amy, I made this recipe last summer and it was great. We tried it over Thanksgiving however and there was a lot of oil on top. More than you could blot off with a paper towel. We had to scoop it off with a measuring cup. Do you know why this happened?

    I love this recipe because you can make a little or a lot!
    I make it just for me using a quarter cup of each. I microwave the onions for a minute, or until just soft then add the cheese and mayo and cook for another minute. I like it as a burger topping.

    Hi Amy, can I add bacon to this ?

    • Amy says

      Hi Yolanda! Yes I think that would be delicious! I would cook the bacon first so that its crispy before you mix it into the onion dip.
