Ingredients

Dip

  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ pound deli roast beef, roughly chopped
  • 16 ounces sliced Provolone cheese, chopped and divided

For Serving

  • Sliced baguette
  • Tortilla Chips
  • Pretzels
  • Carrot sticks or other vegetables for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an hand mixer until smooth. Add sour cream. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and onions. Saute 10-15 minutes until lightly caramelized.
  • Add green pepper and garlic. Cook for a few minutes more until peppers are tender, stirring occasionally. 
  • Transfer the sauteed peppers and onions to the bowl of cream cheese and sour cream. Add the chopped roast beef and all but ½ cup of the provolone cheese, reserving part of the cheese for sprinkling on top at the end. Stir until everything is well-combined. 
  • Transfer the mixture to a pie plate, baking dish, or just use the oven-safe skillet used for sauteeing the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining provolone cheese on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until hot and bubbly, and the provolone cheese starts to slightly brown on top. Serve immediately with sliced baguette, tortilla chips, pretzels, or veggies.
