### A Classic Cookout Dip That Disappears First
This classic French Onion Dip is creamy, savory, and incredibly easy to make. With just three simple ingredients, it delivers rich onion flavor and a smooth, tangy texture that's perfect for parties, cookouts, game days, and holiday gatherings.
## Ingredients
* 1 container (16 oz / 450 g) sour cream
* 1 packet (1 oz) dry French onion soup mix
* 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
## Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, French onion soup mix, and mayonnaise.
2. Stir until completely blended.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
4. Stir again before serving.
## Servings
* Makes about 2 cups
* Serves 8–10 people as an appetizer
## Why It Works
* **Sour cream** provides a rich, tangy base.
* **French onion soup mix** delivers deep onion flavor and savory seasonings.

## Serving Suggestions
