Ingredients

6 bacon slices
30 ml (2 tbsp) of olive oil
750 ml (3 cups) of onions, thinly sliced
250 mL (1 cup) of sour cream
125 mL (½ cup) of cream cheese, room temperature
375 mL (1½ cups) of Armstrong Old Cheddar Shredded Cheese
125 mL (½ cup) of Parmesan cheese
30 mL (2 tbsp) of minced chives + 1 tbsp for garnishing
15 mL (1 tbsp) of Worcestershire sauce
2 ml (½ tsp) of sea salt
Ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large skillet, fry the bacon slices until golden and crisp. Transfer the cooked bacon to a bowl and set aside.
Combine the olive oil and onion to the bacon fat left in the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, then lower the heat to the minimum. Continue cooking, mixing from time to time, until the onions are soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk the sour cream with the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Armstrong Old Cheddar Shredded Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, chives (2 tbsp), and Worcestershire sauce. Dice the cooked bacon and incorporate half of it to the mixture along with the caramelized onion.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-proof dish. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the dip is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with remaining bacon, chives, salt and pepper, and serve with bread croutons.
