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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the yellow onions.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together.

Step 3

Add the onions to the skillet along with the salt and granulated sugar to help with caramelization.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once caramelized, remove the skillet from heat and let the onions cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Stir in the cooled caramelized onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the chopped chives over the dip for a fresh touch.

Step 10

Serve chilled with chips, sliced veggies, or crusty bread for dipping.
