Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and thinly slice the sweet onions.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring frequently, for about 12–15 minutes, until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Fold the caramelized onions into the cheese mixture and mix gently until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish or any similarly sized oven-safe dish. Spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies for dipping.
