Ingredients

• 3 large sweet onions
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the sweet onions into even slices to ensure consistent caramelization.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring well to coat them in the butter and oil mixture. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and salt to aid in caramelization.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 35-40 minutes until they are a deep golden brown. Be careful not to burn them, and adjust the heat lower if needed. Once caramelized, set them aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Chop the cooled caramelized onions into smaller pieces, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture. Add garlic powder and stir to combine thoroughly.

Step 7

Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the dip at room temperature or chilled with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
