Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into even slices.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, and sprinkle them with salt and sugar. Stir to coat evenly.
Cook the onions on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply golden brown and caramelized. This process will take about 30-40 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions start to brown too quickly.
Once caramelized, remove the onions from the heat and allow them to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Chop the caramelized onions into smaller pieces, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture along with the garlic powder and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish the dip with optional chopped chives. Serve with chips, crackers, or vegetables.
