Easy to make with just 4 ingredients and no cooking involved, this Sour Cream and Onion Dip is a must for any party. Creamy and delicious, this homemade chip dip is made for dipping!
Why We Love This Sour Cream and Onion Dip Recipe
Let’s be honest, you can never have enough dip recipes, and when they are this easy and delicious, it’s a no-brainer! This homemade chip dip is seriously one of the easiest recipes on The Cookie Rookie, but it makes such a great addition to any appetizer spread.
- Easy. With just 4 everyday ingredients, this dip is super simple to make, but so addictive!
- No Cooking. Any recipe that doesn’t require you to turn the oven on is a win in my book!
- Crowd-Pleaser. This is a great app to serve friends and family. It’s perfect for game day!
Variations on Homemade Chip Dip
I prefer to use full-fat sour cream, cream cheese, and mayo for this dip, but you can use reduced fat if you prefer. You could also swap the sour cream for plain or Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
How to Store
This sour cream and onion dip will keep well in the fridge for around 3 days, but it’s doubtful it will last that long! Keep it covered with plastic wrap or in a sealable container to keep it fresh. It’s such a perfect make-ahead app.
It’s best not to freeze it as sour cream can become quite grainy when thawed.
Serving Suggestions
No surprise here, this homemade chip dip is perfect to serve with…. chips! Classic potato chips, crunchy tortilla chips , baked sweet potato chips , or crispy wonton chips are all great choices. It has the perfect scoopable consistency whilst not being too heavy.
It’s great with crudite too, or use it as a dip for fries or spread on to your favorite burger or sandwich.

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.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
