About the recipe

See how to make this twist on a classic party favorite, onion souffle dip. We guarantee it'll make you the talk of the town.

We used French's Crispy fried Onions for the fried onions in this recipe. For serving, we recommend Ritz or Townhouse crackers. An interesting twist is mashing Ritz Crackers into crumbles and using as a top crust layer.
