Servings: 8
Equipment
- 12 inch cast iron skillet
- mixing bowl set
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 1/2 cups Onion (chopped, I prefer a sweet onion)
- 3/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (softened to room temperature or placed in the microwave at 50% power for 10-15 seconds)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (preferably full-fat)
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes. Watch carefully as you may need to turn the heat to the low setting. Stir often. The onions will begin to turn a golden brown color and become soft. Add onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper and stir together. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Fold in caramelized onions. Check for seasoning. The onion dip will become more flavorful as it chills in the refrigerator.
- Serve with crinkle potato chips, French bread, veggies, or crostini.
