Crock-Pot Cheesy Bacon Onion Dip
I have an addition to dips! I enjoy trying new dips and making some of my favorite old dips. This just happens to be one of my favorite ones.
There are a few steps to make this dip, but the end result is a creamy combination of caramelized onions and bacon. Once you cook the bacon, set the bacon to the side to cool. Drain all the drippings except two tablespoons. Add the onions and the brown sugar and let it cook slow and low until the onions are caramelized..
Combine the onions, chopped bacon and the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker and allow it to cook on low for about 2 hours or until the cream cheese is melted.
I like to serve this with corn chips or tortilla chips. If you have any leftovers, refrigerate for up to a week. The dip is just as good the second time around as it is the first!
