Description

Caramelized onion dip is creamy, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. This easy appetizer is perfect for entertaining, on game day, or for a snack. 


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large (or 2 medium) sweet onion (Vidalia onions), diced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 + 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder

Instructions

  1. In a large cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, for about 25 minutes, or until onions are caramelized and golden brown.
  2. Add Worcestershire sauce, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits. Let cool about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir to combine. Stir in cooled onions until incorporated.
  4. Serve onion dip at room temperature with chips and/or credité, or refrigerate for 2 hours and serve completely cool.

Notes

Store caramelized onion dip in an airtight container or covered in plastic cling wrap for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
