Caramelized Onion Dip Recipe

American · Appetizer · 55 min total

Rich, sweet, and savory, this homemade caramelized onion dip is a crowd-pleasing appetizer that beats any store-bought version. Slow-cooked onions add deep flavor, while a touch of sour cream and cream cheese creates a luscious, creamy base.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until onions soften.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring every 5 minutes, for 30-40 minutes until onions are deep golden brown and caramelized. If onions start to stick, add a splash of water.
3. Remove from heat and let onions cool slightly. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces.
4. In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth.
5. Fold in the chopped caramelized onions. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
6. Before serving, garnish with fresh chives. Serve with potato chips, crackers, or vegetable crudités.

Tips

• For a deeper flavor, cook the onions until they are a rich mahogany color, but be careful not to burn them.
• The dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
• If the dip is too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or water to reach desired consistency.
