Hot Caramelized Onion Meatball Dip
Moms can serve Cooked Perfect Meatballs at their next Game Day party or weeknight dinner, with Hot Caramelized Onion Meatball Dip!
Friends, don’t you love a hot, cheesy dip in the winter months, especially served at a Big Game party, or even sitting by a cozy fire, inside or out?
Because we love to serve snacks during Game Day parties that consist of lots of veggies, dips, fruits, and healthy options, we also love a hearty dish that fills our guests up!
Cooked Perfect Meatballs are delicious served in their simplicity, especially in all the varieties that Cooked Perfect has to offer. Some of these varieties include Italian Style, Homestyle, Angus Beef, Turkey, Swedish and Chicken. Cooked Perfect Meatballs are; crafted using select meats, real cheeses, and savory herbs, then flame-broiled to sear in the flavor. For easy shopping, these meatballs are available in your grocer’s freezer aisle.
Hot Caramelized Onion Meatball Dip
For this recipe, I cooked 3 large sweet and red onions. The longer you cook the onions (on low heat), the sweeter and more caramelized they become.
Preheat one package of Cooked Perfect Homestyle Meatballs (love the smaller ½ oz. bite-size meatballs), and then add to the caramelized onions. Just one package has 64 meatballs. That serves a lot of bites!
Add in the cheese; stir, bake, and serve hot with your favorite chip or cracker or pretzel stick!
Whether serving a snack, or a meal, being prepared is key for me; the key to easy entertaining. So I keep a few bags in the freezer, ready to defrost and serve (or make a quick recipe). These bite-size (1/2 oz.) meatballs are also delish for a family pasta night. (Mmm, spaghetti and meatballs!)
In fact, I’ve also made another fabulous appetizer, Easy Meatball Crostini recipe. Use a bag of Cooked Perfect’s meatballs for a shortcut! Or, try these Avocado Cheeseburger Meatball Appetizer recipe.

I almost can’t handle this post. I NEED THIS. Excuse me, gonna go find a way to make it right now.
This looks so good! Yes, we are hosting. I’ve asked everyone to bring some type of finger food and I’m going to make a crockpot of chili and some mini corn muffins. We’ll have a few games for prizes. Should be fun.
This sounds great, thanks!
