Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sour cream, onion soup mix, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and horseradish in a bowl.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat sour cream. You can substitute Greek yogurt for a healthier option. If you want more heat, add extra horseradish or a dash of hot sauce. This dip is versatile; you can try different flavored chili sauces to customize it. For a milder taste, reduce the onion soup mix or use a lower sodium version.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip chilled with an assortment of fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers for dipping. It also pairs beautifully with crackers or chips. For a fun twist, use it as a spread in sandwiches or wraps. Consider serving alongside dishes like Cukes In Sour Cream for a delightful appetizer spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to maintain a smooth consistency. Avoid overheating, as this can change the texture of the sour cream.
