I’m not a big fan of condiments. At least not of the average ones, I should say. But this onion dip is out of this world with flavor! I am thinking of all kinds of reasons to make it, and Hubby had to smoke extra onions this weekend so I had a stash to work with! And combined with the quesadillas? Pure magic : ) This recipe was inspired by Elk Public House in Spokane Washington. (We saw them make this on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on Food Network and Hubby turns to me and says “Can you make that?” How can I resist a challenge!? : )
