Hot Onion Dip has been a family favorite for years. I just love the sweet, cheesy onion flavor. You really can’t do better than a classic hot onion dip recipe for the holidays or game day. It’s perfect for dipping and oh-so yummy.
Why We Love This Hot Onion Dip Recipe
There’s nothing better than a great appetizer dip and this hot onion dip is perfect. With football season coming to an end (hello Super Bowl !), and New Year’s Eve upon us… good dips are a great thing to try. This best-ever baked onion dip recipe is a must!
- Easy. Just mix the ingredients together, bake, and serve.
- Cheesy. With cream cheese, Boursin , Parmesan, and Gruyere, this dip is absolutely stuffed to the brim with gooey cheese.
- Flavorful. The onions blend seamlessly into this dip for a rounded flavor that’s not overwhelming. Even onion haters love this dip!
Variations on Baked Onion Dip
For a stronger onion flavor and a slightly sweeter dip, try caramelizing the onions first! If you can’t find Boursin, try mixing more cream cheese with fresh herbs. You can also experiment with different types of cheeses, like cheddar, emmental, comté, mozzarella, or provolone!
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover hot onion dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It tastes great cold straight from the fridge, or reheat it in a 350°F oven for 7-10 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
We served this cheesy hot onion dip with crackers and sliced veggies. Just keep it simple! But it would also be great with pita chips or little pieces of toasted bread, or on top of baked potatoes .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
