Ingredients

- Meats: 8 oz (225 g) bacon, chopped
- Dairy: 2 cups (480 g) sour cream
Instructions
- Step 1:

- Step 2:
- Add diced onions to the pan with the reserved bacon fat. Cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply golden and caramelized, about 20 25 minutes. Cool slightly.

- In a medium bowl, combine caramelized onions, crisp bacon, and sour cream. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Step 4:
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve with chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
