Jarlsburg cheese dip

A few months ago, my cousin brought home this interesting dip called Jarlsburg cheese dip. I've never heard of this dip before let alone Jarlsburg cheese but decided to try it out. It was surprisingly good. She only bought it once and I never asked her where she got it. Something reminded me of it the other day so I embarked on a quest to find this cheese dip. It was a short adventure as I just texted her to see where she bought it. Turns out it was just Kroger. When I arrived at Kroger, I found that this dip is $7.99/lb. That's pretty ridiculous I thought so I decided to check out the ingredients. Three ingredients is all it takes to make Jarlsburg cheese dip; Jarlsburg cheese (duh), mayonnaise, and red onion. Should be easy and cheap enough to buy these ingredients, plus I already had mayonnaise at home. I googled "Jarlsburg cheese dip" and this was what greeted me:

Awesome. This is exactly what I am looking for. Someone had liked this Kroger Jarlsburg cheese dip enough to figure out the ingredients proportions and post it online. So I bought up what I needed and headed home. After mixing all the ingredients together (and dealing with the most eye-watering onion I've ever dealt with in my life) the dip was ready. Due to the extremely strong onion, I thought it tasted a little too onion-y from what I remembered it tasting like. Thankfully Sawsheezle had encountered a Manager's Special sale on this dip at Kroger and informed me of it. Now I could compare the actual dip to my attempt at recreating it. After eating a bit of it for lunch today on some Triscuits, I can say that my dip tastes almost identical. Mine is bit more dry though. Next time, I may add a bit more mayo. Here are some comparison pictures of the two dips. The Kroger version is first while my version is second. If you like Swiss cheese and the taste of onion, I suggest you head to your nearest Kroger and try this dip out for yourself. Or try and make it yourself like I did.
