As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been trying to get creative with a GINORMOUS CostCo size bag of chips my husband bought! I swear it is bottomless. (note to self, husband should not shop club store alone again, remember bean salad jar the size of a watermelon brought home from last CostCo trip?) Of course, my daughter is happy we are having chips even with dinner…usually something I only put out for guests and special occasions. I kind of feel the same about dip. When I was young, my mother only put out dip when guests were over. It usually meant fun with cousins, a chance to stay up late and to drink the holy grail of treats…soda! This dip I came up with tasted like french onion dip from the store, and it is a great way to get rid of left over cream cheese you have sitting in the fridge. I takes minutes, and you can serve it with chips and cut up veggies. It can be stored for a day, so you can make it ahead for a party. But I call it weeknight because it is so easy, you can dress up a meal any night of the week with this. For instance, we had it with chips and burgers on a Monday! Sadly, however, it still does not look like we made a dent in that bag of chips yet. OIY!
