Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into thin, even slices.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the onions, kosher salt, and sugar.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until they are deeply caramelized and golden-brown. Reduce the heat to medium-low if they start to brown too quickly.
Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Chop the cooled caramelized onions into smaller pieces and stir them into the cream cheese mixture.
Add black pepper and garlic powder to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
