Caramelized Onion Dip Recipe - creamy and flavorful appetizer featuring rich and flavorful caramelized onions. Serve with potato chips for the classic combo or with veggie sticks.
Start by heating up olive oil in non-stick pan. Add chopped onions and salt and cook until tender and just start to turn gold.
Add butter and let it melt, stirring often.
When the onions and deep golden, almost brown, add brown sugar and soy sauce. Stir in and let the whole mixture simmer for 2 minutes or medium-low heat.
Remove onions from the heat and cool while you assemble the remaining dip ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo, pepper and garlic powder. The onions are salted so hold off with adding any more until you taste the dip.
Next, add the caramelized onions and stir in. Taste the dip and add more salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately or cover with a plastic wrap and chill until ready.
Notes
I used 1 whole and ½ of a large white onion. You can use yellow or sweet onions for this recipe.
