Ingredients
- 2 whole Large yellow onions

- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them thinly.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, season with salt and sugar, and stir to coat in the oil.
Cook the onions for about 30 to 35 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are deeply browned and caramelized.
Once caramelized, remove the onions from the heat and let them cool completely.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Fold in the cooled caramelized onions into the sour cream mixture.
Stir in the chopped fresh chives.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld together.
Before serving, stir the dip and adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
