Dip Bowl

My friend Emily is hosting a dip competition at her Super Bowl party tonight. While I considered doing dips like This, This, and This, influenced both by the economy and what I remember having while watching football at my grandparents' house in New Orleans, I went with the ole classic, Onion Soup Mix & Sour Cream.

The ingredients on the kitchen counter

Maybe its the nostalgia of having enjoyed the dip during Saints' wins (and many losses) or how easy it is to make (mix 1 packet of soup mix with 16 ounces of sour cream) or how versatile it is from casual get-togethers to cocktail soirees (as shown below):

In a basket with Wavy Lays and a beer OR on a silver tray with crudites and a cocktail.

I love this dip for its simple, inexpensive ingredients and most of all comfort food quality. And since Emily's doing a competition, I topped the dip with caramelized onions. Hopefully, it'll score a 'touchdown.'
