Jess and Joan's Firework Bash Caramelized Onion & Bacon Ranch Dip

Ingredients:

• (1) 24 oz container of sour cream
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 8 strips of pre cooked, fully cooked bacon, diced
• a pinch of sugar
• 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning for Dips

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine packet and sour cream, place in fridge.
2. In a small sauté pan, heat butter and olive oil on medium heat and add onions.
3. Cook until translucent, about 20 minutes. Add a pinch of sugar and mix in.  Toss in cold bacon and shut off heat (so that the bacon barely warms through but infuses the flavor into the onions.)
4. Allow to cool then combine with sour cream mixture.
5. Transfer to serving bowl(s) and serve with wavy style potato chips (they hold up the denseness of the dip better than regular) and veggies.
