I made this for an onion potluck at work and people went ballistic over it. The only thing I added to it was minced garlic for added kick. Thanks.

I love anything with a kick and this has one. Not too spicy for guests at our party and the bowl was emptied and people came back for more. This recipe makes TONS and all of it will get eaten. So original and something I like to make for events. Thanks!

I have made this twice now and got rave reviews at both parties. and the 2nd time around I cut the black pepper and cayenne in half for knew that some of my guests do not care too much for the hotside, it turned out just as good. If you are looking for an awesome crowd pleasing dip this is it, you must try this. Thank You so much for sharing your fantastic dip, Miz.
