Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together.
Add the onions to the skillet along with the salt and granulated sugar to help with caramelization.
Cook the onions, stirring frequently, for 30–35 minutes or until deep golden brown and caramelized. Adjust the heat to medium-low if the onions begin to brown too quickly.
Once caramelized, remove the skillet from heat and let the onions cool for about 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the cooled caramelized onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well incorporated.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped chives over the dip for a fresh touch.
Serve chilled with chips, sliced veggies, or crusty bread for dipping.
