Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (roughly 2 cups diced) Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the large yellow onions into small, uniform pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15–20 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
While the onions are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish (about 1 1/2 to 2-quart capacity).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Once the onions are fully caramelized, allow them to cool slightly, then fold them into the cheese mixture using a spatula until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables.
