Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and stir to coat them with the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the onions with granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt. This helps with the caramelization process.
Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until they are deeply golden and caramelized. Lower the heat if the onions begin to brown too quickly.
Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, chop them into smaller pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Fold in the chopped caramelized onions until evenly distributed.
Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
When ready to serve, sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish, if desired.
Serve with your choice of chips, crackers, or fresh veggies, and enjoy!
