Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced onions.

- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh crunch.
- Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the dip.
- You can also experiment by adding shredded cheese or bacon bits for extra flavor.
- This dip can be made ahead of time; just store it in the refrigerator and serve it chilled or warmed.
