Hot Caramelized Onion Dip with Bacon and Gruyère

Made this for Thanksgiving appetizer using caramelized onions I had made in October from Walla Walla Sweets in the crockpot, then froze, so helped out on time, but did add some add'l moisture, resulting in an extra 15 min or so in the oven. However, it was the one appetizer that everyone kept coming into the kitchen to tell me how much they loved it! It was also exceptionally easy, and with the exception of the gruyere, all pantry staples, even w/o frozen onions, and will be on my list of things to make again!

This was really good although I did make a few modifications. cooked the bacon first then cooked the onions in the bacon fat. I used light sour cream and light mayo. Really great flavor. Will definitely make again.

This is fantastic. I brought it to an appie pot luck and it was the hit of about 20 dishes. Will pass this on and make again.

Rich and delicious! Group agreed the apple was an ideal serving 'spoon'. Tasty!

Not as good as I expected but got raves from my guests
