Estimated Calories: 123
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sour cream, I use full-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onions
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon roasted beef base, I use and recommend Better Than Bouillon
- salt, to taste (if needed)
- chopped fresh chives, optional (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, dried minced onions, onion powder, and roasted beef base until very well combined. Taste and add salt if needed.If you will be serving this dip with potato chips, I suggest tasting the dip with a chip. Depending on the saltiness of your chips, you may not need to add any salt or you may only need a small amount. I usually need to add about ¼ teaspoon.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the onions to soften and the flavors to blend.Don't skip this step; it really does make a difference!
- Give the dip a quick final stir right before serving. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh chives. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Serve with potato chips (I recommend using thicker wavy chips that are sturdier and will be less likely to break when dipping), fresh veggies, pretzels, crackers, and more!
- Feel free to adjust the amount of any ingredient to suit your own personal tastes.
- I think the dip gets even better if you let it sit in the fridge a bit longer, so I often make this the day before I plan to serve it.
