Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Add the diced yellow onion and granulated sugar to the skillet. Cook the onions while stirring occasionally until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Fold in the caramelized onions, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or bowl. For best results, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Step 6

Before serving, garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
