Vidalia Onion Dip
By Paula Deen
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups chopped Vidalia onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 (8-ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 (6-ounce) packaged Parmesan cheese, shredded
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup chopped pecans
Garnish: Chopped fresh parsley
• Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 1½-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic;
cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender and lightly browned, about
15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, cheeses, mayonnaise, parsley,
and mustard until well combined; stir in onions. Spoon mixture into prepared
pan, and sprinkle with pecans.
• Bake until hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Garnish with parsley, if
desired

It made sense to us that as we are doing the Food Spy at Paula Deen’s Creek
House Seafood & Grill, we should get a recipe from her too! Keeping bbq’s
and family get-togethers in mind, this is the recipe we chose after a bitter
battle: Vidalia Onion Dip. It makes about six cups and is delish!
