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.

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.
