Equipment

1 baking dish our baking dish is 6" x 8.5" x 2" deep dish or a round 10 inch cast iron works well

Ingredients

2 cups sweet Vidalia onion chopped
1-1/2 cups Swiss & gruyere mixed cheese shredded
2 cups real mayonnaise Hellmann's
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
green onions chopped, optional topping
French bread slices toasted - for serving

Instructions

Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, take a nonstick baking pan and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Set this aside for later use.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: 2 cups of finely chopped sweet onions, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Swiss and Gruyere cheese mix, 2 cups of real mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir these together until everything is well mixed.
Transfer to Baking Pan: Once your onion mixture is ready, take it and spread it evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the onion dip for 30 minutes. You'll know it's done when the cheese has completely melted and the onions have softened and sweetened slightly from the heat.
Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and let the dip stand for about 5 minutes to cool down a bit.
Garnish and Enjoy: Just before serving, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top. Serve the warm onion dip with toasted slices of French bread for dipping.
