Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into even slices to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the sliced onions.
Stir the onions to coat them in the butter and oil, then sprinkle in the salt and granulated sugar to help with the caramelization.
Cook the onions over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized. Be careful not to burn them.
Once caramelized, remove the onions from the skillet and allow them to cool to room temperature.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Chop the cooled caramelized onions into small pieces and fold them into the sour cream mixture.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, give the dip a stir and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve with potato chips, fresh vegetables, or crackers.
