Calories: 350kcal

Author: adapted from the White On Rice Couple

Ingredients

• 1 8 oz package of cream cheese softened (as a gal from Philly, I adore the one and only Philly Cream Cheese)
• 1 cup mayo
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 medium Vidalia onion diced (about a heaping cup full)
• 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all the above in a bowl and mix until smooth.
• Scrape into a baking dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the top browns – the browner it gets the more flavorful it will be.
• Note: Don’t cook at higher than 375 degrees or you run the risk of separating your cheese which will make the dip greasy. For best results, don’t use low-fat anything. When making this Hot Onion Dip, you’ve got to live it up!

Notes

You can make this mixture a couple hours ahead of time, cover and chill until ready to bake.

Don't be shy with the black pepper.

For best results - Do not use low-fat or fat free cheeses or mayo for this.
