Roasted Garlic & Caramelized Onion Dip – way better than any store bought dip out there! Great for chips, veggies, or just about anything!
Nothing beats a good dip! Whether it is game day, snack time, a get together or you just want a little something. A good dip can take you pretty far! And this one is loaded with flavor and better than any store bought one you will find.
I love a good dip, but I am kind of picky what kind of dip that has to be. My husband on the other hand, loves just about any dip. Spicy, chunky, smooth, cheesy, or creamy, he loves pretty much all of them. I think if you could live on dips alone, he would be a happy man. But having the perfect dipper, that is key.

How To Make Roasted Garlic & Caramelized Onion Dip
- Roast Garlic. Cut a head of garlic in half, drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle a little salt over the cut portion. Wrap in foil and bake for about 45 minutes until golden and soft.
- Caramelize Onions. Melt the butter and oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the onions, mixing until they are well coated in the fat. And cook for about 45 minutes. You want the onions to get a nice golden caramel color that, but not browned from the heat. Stir often.
- Mix. Cream together the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo until it is nice and smooth. Mix in the roasted garlic and onions until everything is evenly combined.
- Serve. You can serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
- If you are planning ahead, make Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions the day before you need them. The crockpot does all the work and you can just assemble the dip with not having to stand over the stove for 45 minutes.
