Make homemade sour cream and onion dip on the grill! Grilling caramelizes the onion and garlic wonderfully, taking this classic chip dip’s flavor to a whole new level - no sautéing required!
Preheat oven or grill to 450°F. Prepare the onion by cutting off the top and bottom, and removing the outer layer. Cut 4 slits in the onion top, going about halfway through. Cut out the center of the onion, about 1 inch deep. Place the prepared onion on a piece of foil large enough to wrap around the entire onion. Gently peel back several layers of the onion and place 4 garlic cloves inside the onion layers and on top of the onion as best as possible.
1 medium-sized yellow onion, 4 garlic cloves
Place the butter, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, along with salt, and pepper on top of the onion. Wrap the foil around the onion. Place the foil packet on the top rack of the grill or in the middle of the oven. Roast for 25-35 minutes, until tender. Remove the packet from the heat, open foil, and let cool.
Once the onion is cooled enough to handle, drain the remaining liquid into a bowl. Chop the onion and garlic to the desired size for the dip. Whisk together excess liquid from the onion with sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/4 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
3/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Add the chopped onion and garlic, stirring until combined. Chill in an airtight container until ready to serve (you can serve immediately but I personally prefer it chilled, which also gives the flavors time to meld). Serve with potato chips and enjoy!
Salt and pepper
