Caramelized Onion Dip

Ingredients

Chives

2 tablespoons, finely chopped

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground

Garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon

Mayonnaise

1/2 cup

Sour cream

1/2 cup

Cream cheese

8 ounces, softened

Sugar

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Onions

2 large, thinly sliced

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the onions to the skillet, sprinkle with the salt and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn a rich, golden brown. This caramelization process may take about 30 minutes, but it's worth the wait as it brings out the natural sweetness of the onions.
3. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add the caramelized onions to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to ensure that the onions are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
5. Before serving, garnish the dip with the finely chopped chives for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve with your favorite chips or fresh vegetables.
6. Enjoy this dip as is, or try adding a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick, or some crumbled bacon for a bit of crunch. The possibilities are endless!
