Golden Baked Onions

Another tried and true gem, Taylor Miller shares a timeless side dish — one that people often forget about. In this culinary masterpiece, humble onions undergo a magical transformation to become a delectable side dish. The gradual cooking process, aimed at amplifying their inherent sweetness, yields a sumptuous, golden creation.  

Taylor was first introduced to this delicious dish through her church’s recipe book.

Taco Dip

You can’t have a holiday celebration without a legendary dip. This crowd-pleasing, flavor-packed appetizer is sure to satisfy the snackers before dinner. With multiple layers, this dip captures the bold and savory elements of a traditional taco. It’s typically served chilled and is perfect for dipping tortilla chips, creating a festive and delicious addition to any gathering or party. 

Diana says this is a huge hit across all of her family and friends and always has it ready in her fridge during the holidays. She does, however, advise keeping the lettuce off as it will keep better that way.

The magic happens as it bakes, resulting in a velvety, custard-like texture with a beautifully caramelized top.
