The holidays are time for having lots of parties with family and friends. That means at some point you're going to have to come up with a new side-dish.
My aunt brought this hot onion dip to a party years ago and it was a total hit! Everyone was begging her for the recipe.
She told us that some people call it the "2+2+2 Dip" because it makes it easy to remember the recipe ingredients that way.
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 2 cups real mayonnaise
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
2+2+2 Dip. Get it? It doesn't get much more simple than that!
How to make Hot Baked Onion Dip:
- In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups of chopped sweet onions, 2 cups of real mayonnaise and 2 cups of shredded Swiss cheese.
- Pour the mixture into an 8" x 8" baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. The top should be golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Remove the dip from the oven and gently blot up excess oil from the top with a paper towel.
Serve with crackers or toasted french bread slices.
You can make this dip ahead of time and store covered in the fridge until you're ready to bake it.

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.
