Caramelized Onion Dip

unsalted butter

onions

sour cream (at room temperature)

cream cheese (softened)

parsley

onion powder

Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper

Potato chips (for serving)

In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 25 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook, stirring, until the water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Let the onions cool slightly, about 15 minutes.


Transfer the onions to a cutting board and coarsely chop. In a large bowl, mix the sour cream with the cream cheese, parsley, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Stir in the onions and season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.


I just made this.  I thought as written that it was very bland.But I do like serious flava in my food.So I kept adding seasonings until It had more zing.  I upped the onion powder and worchestershire to about a tablespoon each, and added about a tablespoon of garlic powder and a tablespoon of soy sauce.  The soy sauce addition sealed the deal.  NOW it has some flavor.  My husband approved. 🏳️‍🌈The next time I’d substitute chopped chives for the parsley, and before we have it again tomorrow (it yields about 4 cups),  I’ll add some chopped applewood smoked bacon to it.  Because, you know:  bacon + onion=😍

Great recipe - fast and easy.  Using a slow cooker to caramelize onions is a real game changer.  I did add some garlic powder and used white wine instead of water on my second time making this, but the recipe as written is a five star for taste and ease of prep.

Love this dip! Have made it several times.  I sometimes sub half sour cream for mayo &amp; add some spicy peppers to balance the sweetness of the carmelized onions.  I suspect that the other reviewers did NOT carmelized the onions as needed.  I usually do extra onions bc I like to have some on hand for casseroles &amp; pizza.  It normally takes at least an hour to caramelize 3 or 4 large yellow onions.  U MUST b patient!!!  Also everything must b room temp and beat sour cream, mayo (if using), &amp; cream cheese with a mixer &amp; not by hand.

Agree with another review, the cream cheese made the “dip” very thick.  We spread it on crackers with a knife, too thick to use as a dip.
