Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 1.5 cups diced) Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 8 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped, optional for garnish) Chives
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, salt, and sugar.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are caramelized and golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium-low if they start to brown too quickly.
Once caramelized, set the onions aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, and the cooled caramelized onions. Mix well to evenly incorporate the onions.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with chips, veggies, or crackers.
