I have very fond childhood memories of stirring a packet of onion dip mix into a container of sour cream. A bag of potato chips and a can of Coke completed the picture. Nowadays that seems like an unnecessary expense. But, it makes a great tailgate snack, especially when supplemented with some veggie dippers. Recently I set out to make my own onion dip from scratch. You’ll be amazed at how easy it was! This new way definitely works for me.
Sour Cream Onion Dip
1 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Better Than Bouillion beef base (you could probably use dry beef bouillion, crumbled fine)
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill for one hour.
Have you got a special onion dip memory?

This sounds wonderful! Onion dip, a bag of Ruffles & a glass of cold sweet tea brings back my childhood. My sister & I would spend hours enjoying a good game of rummy while enjoying our chips & dip. I’m going to have to try this!

aha!!! that’s what I was missing! I had always done it with the onion soup mix, but when i tried to make it from scratch, I tried to use dehydrated onion and garlic powder. it seemed to be missing something, but I couldn’t figure out what…

I never really cared for pretzels because they were too dry. Then I was hanging with some friends in college and they had onion soup mix dip and the small pretzel sticks….LOVED them. My inlaws eat cornchips with the onion soup dip, I can’t wait to flip out this dip at our next gathering.
