Slow Cooker Creamy Onion Dip that is so easy to make. Caramelized onions are mixed with sour cream and mozzarella cheese to make an extra creamy homemade dip! This simple recipe is best served hot with potato chips – perfect for a party dip!
We grew many onions this year. Do you remember when we planted them all? Well it’s time to pick them now! We have 4 big creates that are full of onions. We let them dry in the sun for a few days and then ran up to the roof when we heard thunder and thankfully got them inside before it started to rain. Close one! Now they’re living inside and we’re storing onions in pantyhose and baskets.
So you’re probably wondering what do we do with all those onions. Besides slow cooker caramelized onions and onion mashed potatoes, we love this Creamy Onion Dip! It’s such an easy recipe to use up a bunch of onions, perfect for parties or just when you’re craving some chips and dip.
How to Make
Because they’re slow cooked for a few hours, they really melt down to a nice consistency and will make your house smell amazing!
You’ll need 4 onions for this recipe. I wore my sunglasses while cutting them and I still cried like a baby.
Now throw the onions, olive oil and butter in the slow cooker. Let them cook.
And in 4 few hours, open the lid and marvel at their beauty!
After throwing everything in the food processor and adding some cheese to make it creamy you’re left with a dip that you’ll want to immediately dive into with a chip! Matthew dove right in and was in onion dip heaven!
Just look at that ooey gooey cheese running off the bowl!
Enjoy this Slow Cooker Creamy Onion Dip friends!

But onions are actually good for you! I’m not judging, I get the heebee-jeebees just thinking about goat cheese. What a great way to make onion dip. We love the stuff!
Pamela says
Hahaha, goat cheese scares me too! I have a number of food fears that I should deal with. 😛

I cannot believe you grew onions, then again, nothing surprises me with you. Absolutely amazed.
That dip is amazing my dear.
Suzanne says
As a child I too hated onions, would pick them off or refuse to eat anything they touched, the raw ones that is. Now I tolerate them raw but sliced very thinly and used sparingly but cooked, thats another story. Love that dip.

while there are many, many things to do with a plethora of onions, this is among the finest!

I wish I had your green thumb! My garden hasn’t yielded one tomato, not one! The good thing? I don’t need a garden to recreate this! Oh my onion and cheese!

This dip is making my mouth water!! I also love the idea of cooking onions in the slow cooker even if it isn’t for this dip. Great post as always 🙂
Kelly @ Hidden Fruits and Veggies says
That’s a lot of onions for one person to enjoy all by himself! I personally looooove onions, so this dip sounds fantastic. Josh will eat onions, but if he cuts them he insists on wearing my pair of monogoggles lol
