If you love onion dip and spinach dip you’re going to love this recipe! It’s creamy, full of flavor, and so good that you won’t be able to stop eating it!
I’ve said a million times how hot it has been here lately. I’ve gone on and on about how it’s too hot to be in the kitchen and how I’ve been eating cool salads and frozen smoothies. So, what do I do on the hottest day of the year? I go in the kitchen, turn the oven on and make this hot and creamy dip.
Probably not my best idea, but it was completely worth it! You must… I repeat: you must drop everything you’re doing and go make this dip. It’s SO GOOD!
In fact, it’s so good that I had a hard time getting through the photographing without devouring it. I was seriously going as fast as I could just so I could dig in. This was at 10:30 in the morning, by the way.
This recipe will serve about 4 people if you eat normal serving sizes. Realistically, Kyle and I would easily polish this off in one sitting. But that’s just us.
By the way, Kyle never got to taste it. I hid the leftovers in the fridge so that I could enjoy it when he wasn’t around. Yes, I’m greedy when it comes to food I love!
Talking about it has my mouth watering and I’m wishing that I still had some in the fridge. As soon as I took the last bite I started thinking about when I could make it again. Does anyone else obsess over food as much as I do?
Seriously, go make this dip. You’ll be back to thank me!
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 Large Onions, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
- 1 Teaspoon Sugar
- 2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
- 3 Cups Fresh Baby Spinach
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 8 Oz. Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
- ¼ Cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
- ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- ½ Cup Jack Cheese, grated
- Preheat the oven to 450º.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive and butter, heating until the butter is melted. Add in the onions and sugar and stir well to combine. Cook the onions over medium-low heat until they are a deep golden brown and caramelized, being sure to stir often. This step will take 15-20 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and spinach and stir until the spinach is wilted and the garlic is fragrant. Season the mixture well with salt and pepper.
- Turn the heat down to low and stir in the cream cheese until it’s melted.
- Stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Pour the mixture into a small baking dish. Top evenly with the jack cheese and bake the dip for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is brown and bubbly.
- Serve with tortilla chips, cut up vegetables, crackers, etc.
I could make a meal out of chips and dip! This sounds fantastic, Keri! I love the onion and spinach combo. Sounds absolutely perfect!

Me too Gayle! In fact, I did make a meal out of this one!
Haha! Oh my gosh, Shawn and I are the same way. When I write recipes, I’ll say they’re meant for 4, but really Shawn and I eat the whole thing ourselves. Whoopsie! This dip looks amazing! I could make a whole meal out of a dip like this. Yum!

Glad I’m not the only one! And yes, I decided to be mean and hide it because it was just too good to share! I’m making it for the 4th so if he’s lucky he will get to have some then! Hahaha
I would totally eat this caramelized onion dip in one sitting. I wouldn’t share it either!

Seriously, it’s impossible not to. And yeah, it’s better to just hoard it and not share! 🙂
I love a good dip and I love how this one is baked, adding a hot cheese element

Following your advice to stop what I am doing and make this is so worth. This is my first time I tried this onion and spinach dip and it was so good. It is a must-try for everyone.
Those look pretty good…. and I’m no onion lover! I love, love, LOVE your fried pickle recipe (and sauce), too. Tasty!
