Ingredients

• 4 medium Yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into even slices.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet, and sprinkle them with salt and sugar. Stir to coat evenly.

Step 4

Cook the onions on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply golden brown and caramelized. This process will take about 30-40 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions start to brown too quickly.

Step 5

Once caramelized, remove the onions from the heat and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 7

Chop the caramelized onions into smaller pieces, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture along with the garlic powder and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 8

Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish the dip with optional chopped chives. Serve with chips, crackers, or vegetables.
