French Onion Dip and a Bag of Chips

If you’re going store-bought Dean’s is the only option. I won’t hear any arguments about that; the jarred stuff in the chip aisle tastes like ass and the Helluva Good tastes too healthy.

If you’re going homemade, a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix in one container of sour cream. That’s it. I do think it’s best if you make it fresh, so I’m not afraid to show up to a party with my own spoon and do a whole bit about “making it tableside” but it’s not awful if you mix it before you leave the house.

For chip choices I’m partial to Vitner’s or UTZ but if those are too regional then Ruffles will get the job done.
