    Recipe for Onion Dip (Tastee Inn & Out)

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Okay, if you're from Nebraska or Iowa then you're probably familiar with Tastee inn & Out. They had a location in Lincoln, Nebraska that closed in 2013 but the original Sioux City, Iowa Restaurant still stands in full operation. I'm all the way in East Texas though, so this recipe for onion dip is the closest i'm going to get.

    If you aren't familiar with the Tastee restaurant, I should probably explain. Tastee is one of the few midwestern establishments that serve loose meat sandwiches. If you're making this dip I highly recommend making the sandwiches and onion chips as well.

    How to Make Onion Dip

    This recipe for onion dip is incredibly easy.

    In a stand mixer pour in the cottage cheese and milk. Mix until the cottage cheese has lost its texture and is no longer recognizable.

    lastly, add the remaining ingredients, mix, and refrigerate for about 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

    Easy as that and Delicious!

      I worked at Tastee as a teenager! I do not remember the first step of mixing the cottage cheese and milk. I just use a small curd cottage cheese. I made this today and thought my small curd was too chunky and used a potato masher to smash it. The recipes that have circulated in Lincoln just say to mix all together. Our recipe also does not have garlic salt or cayenne, but has Accent and onion salt. Next time I will use onion powder to cut back on the salt. No matter what it is a winner!

        Thank you so much! I thought that the cayenne added a spice that I didn't remember, but I really liked it, so I left it in. I appreciate you letting us know and hope that you stick around Chicken Fried Kitchen and check out some more of my recipes!
