Sweet Onion Dip

Hi there! I found this recipe through pinterest, and knew I had to try it! I made the original recipe first, then I made a few simple changes in order to make it just a little healthier. This recipe is so simple and easy, and is hardly any prep work at all. The recipes below only serve 6 people, so just double everything right from the start so you won't have the extra silken tofu leftover. Also, you'll want to double it because it will be gone in 10 mins if you don't. I made this for a few parties recently and each time I wished I would have doubled or tripled the recipe because it was gone that fast! Enjoy the great taste and less calories!!

New & Improved Sweet Onion Recipe

1/2 (8-oz) package 1/3 less fat cream cheese, very softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, Parmesan, onion and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Spread the mixture into a 6-inch baking dish or small oven-safe dish. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until ingredients are melted together and crust is bubbly and golden brown. The darker brown the crust, the better the flavors. Serve hot with your favorite bread or crackers.

Sweet onion crack dip, made this for our christmas eve party and it was a hit! So delicious and I'm not a huge onion fan either
