Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced onions, mayonnaise, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Transfer to baking dish
    Spoon the mixture into a greased 8-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

    Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  5. Serve hot
    Let it cool slightly before serving with chips, crostini, or fresh veggie sticks.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a few dashes of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the mix.
  • Substitute Gruyère for Swiss cheese for a nuttier flavor.
  • Best enjoyed warm, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated.
  • To make it ahead, assemble the mixture and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
