Paula Deen's Caramelized Vidalia Onion and Blue Cheese Hot Dip

Submitted by mary winecoff

"This is a quick and easy dip to make that everyone seems to love. I used panko bread crumbs because that is what I had in my pantry. I also found that you needed to cut the onion pieces into smaller strips (I took the onion and cut it in half and then half again). I also used Clemson Blue Cheese."

Made this for supper club. Everyone loved it and said they would start adding blue cheese to their Vidalia onion dips.

Very sweet and tasty. I halved the recipe and it was plenty for 8 to 10 when served with another appetizer.
