Step 1

In a skillet, melt you butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add your onions in, and caramelize over medium heat. This takes some time — don’t rush it — you don’t want burned onions!

Step 3

After your onions are caramelized, set aside in a large bowl to cool.

Step 4

After about 20 minutes, stir in the carton of sour cream, salt and pepper.

Step 5

Let this sit. Overnight is best, but if you really can’t wait, give it an hour.

Step 6

Before serving, taste with whatever “vessel” you are using — make sure you’ve added enough salt!
