This is a great recipe that’s an amazing addition to any meal, it’s perfect for any party, get together, football tailgating party. I’m a huge fan of homemade dips, rather than store bought since most of you know that I have two teenage sons, who are constantly eating. So, dips are the perfect addition to snack time. We love appetizers and dips in my house, they make for a quick and easy snack for after school, or in between hockey games.

This makes a perfect addition to any BBQ, graduation party, picnics and other family occasions, using the air fryer, this recipe only took about 10 minutes. The air fryer has become one of my best and most used appliances in the Kitchen (besides my Instant Pots). The air fryer has replaced my toaster, oven, and microwave. If you are looking for an air fryer, this is the first one I get, and although it’s not a huge widely noted brand, it has worked amazing and my basket has not rusted or peeled, like my other brands. 

Another hint about the air fryer use, that I will give you, is that you MUST seal it first, this does prevent some peeling and rusting.

Football and hockey are on at this time (season) in my house all day, the kids love watching sports and eating.  My youngest son, Jason watches the Browns and Patriots every time the games are on. My oldest son, Ethan loves watching hockey, but his favorites are the Bruins and Flyers. This would be an amazing recipe for the Superbowl, so pin it for later.

In my house, sports is all about the food, so no matter what Saturday or Sunday you come over, there is always plenty of food spread out in my kitchen, which creeps into the TV room.

This dip is no exception, it’s a layered dip, that starts with a base layer of caramelized onions, and then is completed with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
