Caramelized Onion and Spinach Dip

June 26, 2015 by Keri 17 Comments

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!

Caramelized Onion and Spinach DipI’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. 

Hot Caramelized Onion and Spinach DipThis 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!

  2. 1 Tablespoon Butter
  3. 2 Large Onions, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
  4. 1 Teaspoon Sugar
  5. 2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  6. 3 Cups Fresh Baby Spinach
  7. Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  8. 8 Oz. Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
  9. ¼ Cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
  10. ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  11. ¼ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

    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

    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.

    […] Caramelized Onion and Spinach Dip – I am saving the best for last. This recipe is time consuming considering the time to caramelize the onions, but it is well worth the effort. When my daughter was younger and would spend the night at a friends house, my wife and I would go to a restaurant in Laughlintown, PA called the Ligonier Country Inn for their spinach and onion dip. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the restaurant has closed. I feel that this is the recipe that they used there. Pick up a loaf of baguette bread and toast the slices in the oven. This toast and the dip go so well together. […]
