Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large yellow or sweet onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ to ½ cup water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup mayo
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium low heat. Add butter and olive oil. When the butter melts and begins to foam, add the onions and season with a liberal pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 35 minutes. After about 20 minutes, the onions start to stick to the bottom, add a little of the water and scrape the bottom of the pan. When the onions are caramelized (they will go from golden to a caramel brown color), add the garlic and Worcestershire sauce and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. In a food processor, add the cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream. Pulse to combine. Add the caramelized onions and pulse a couple of times to mix, but do not break up the onions too much. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and cover. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until ready to serve. Serve with chips and vegetable sticks. Dip will keep covered in the refrigerator for 3 days.
