Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onions, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until smooth.
- Fold in the cooled caramelized onions, mixing well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop.
- Garnish with chopped chives before serving. Serve with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
Notes
- The dip is best when refrigerated for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a smoother dip, you can blend the ingredients after adding the caramelized onions.
- Smoked paprika adds a unique flavor, but it can be omitted if you prefer a more traditional taste.
