Caramelized Onion BBQ Beer Dip

An irresistible BBQ Beer Dip with sweet caramelized onions, smoky BBQ sauce, beer and gouda will be a game day favorite!

Peanut Butter and Jelly. Cake and Ice Cream. Pancakes and Syrup. M&M’s and sweet potatoes.

No? That’s not one of your favorite food pairings? I mean, it’s not mine either. But beer and football. Yes. What American doesn’t feel like grabbing a cold one when there is football on? Then you through some delicious food in the mix? Um, perfection.

With living in the Midwest and the city with the best barbecue joint, needless to say, BBQ makes a weekly occurrence in our house. If I would let the fiance eat it everyday, he would be probably be somehow figuring out how to add BBQ sauce to his nightly milkshake. Talk about a weird food combo. Ew.

But THIS dip. This dip is far from weird. It’s delicious. And melts in your mouth. Generally, if I am making a a dish for just the two of us, I stick with lower fat, skinnier options. (Because lets be real, I still have a wedding dress to fit into!) But special occasions, such as entertaining friends during a football game, calls for the flavorful, big guns. The ale soaked, caramelized onions add the perfect sweetness to the salty, yet silky smoked Gouda. BBQ sauce is added to the mix in true KC style. Get crazy and add your favorite.

Promise even if the pigskin ball being thrown around isn’t too exciting, THIS dip will have everyone’s attention.
