Ok – I know what you are thinking – Doritos are fine all on their own. Who needs a dip for Doritos recipe? I used to think that way too! Then a new family moved on to our street with a son the same age as our oldest and we quickly became friends. Many LATE nights of hanging out while the kids played, playing cards together and drinking copious amounts of “adult beverages”.
I don't even remember the first time that Karen introduced me to this dip. We seemed to live at each other's homes and one day she put out a bowl of Doritos and a bowl of this dip. After a few minutes, I asked if she had any chips for the dip…because…you know…Doritos DON'T NEED dip! She told me that this was a recipe given to her by a friend who called it the “Gay Divorcee Dip” and that I should really try it. I have Googled “Gay Divorcee Dip” and the only thing that comes up is my post from 2009 about this dip, so I am SURE that there is a fabulous story about how this dip got its name. Just wish I knew it!
Hennyway – if you are looking for a dip for Doritos recipe (or even if you didn't know that Doritos COULD be dipped in anything and still taste good), you HAVE to try this one. I have only tried it with “traditional” Doritos (nacho cheese) as well as Cool Ranch, as those are the only ones that I like. If you find that this dip tastes great with other flavors of Doritos, please let me know!

Uh yes please! A special dip for Doritos, just genius! I can’t wait to try. Thanks for the recipe!
Ahhh, you have me quite curious! I will try this recipe soon! Thanks for sharing.
Doritos & Onion Dip! Try it, you’ll love it 🙂
What kind of bacon bits do you use? The regular crunchy “fake” bacon bits, or the real bacon bits?
Thanks
I have used both and they have been fine! The original way the recipe was given to me was with the “fake” bacon bits. It just depends on what I have in the house.
Enjoy!
I love Doritos and they are probably one of my favorite snacks. I’m always experimenting with dip ideas so this one will be right up my alley.
Oh my goodness. I love dips and I don’t think I will be able to stop eating Doritos if I do this.
I’ve always only dipped Doritos in nacho cheese. But this sounds WAY better!
This dip recipe is just in time for football season! It sounds delicious!

What a funny and truly entertaining piece! I would never have thought that you need a dip for Doritos but hey, we learn something new every day. 🙂
Just reading your title, I was totally “Dorito’s don’t need dip!” You have me curious though – I’m going to have to give this a shot! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Um, awesome! I always find chips without dip kinda sad. I’m excited to try this for a game day treat! Yay!
We will have to try this during football season!
I was looking the picture of the dip over and it looks like there is something else besides the ingredients listed in it. Did you happen to add anything that would give it a t would give it a slight red coloring or any peppers (green bell or sweet red)to it If not, it must be some sort of shadow or reflection.
Hi Barbara!
The ingredients are exactly as listed….but mixing in the bacon bits does tend to tint it a bit after it has sat for a few hours (and it could also be a reflection – this was taken when I was still really learning to use my camera for food photography 😉 )
