Description

This French Onion Dip is a classic party favorite with a rich, caramelized onion flavor. Creamy and tangy, it’s perfect for dipping chips, crackers, or veggies.


Ingredients

Scale

Onion Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Dip Base:

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Chopped chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized.
  2. Prepare Dip Base: In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Stir in the cooled onions until well combined.
  3. Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop. Garnish with chopped chives before serving if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the sour cream.
  • This dip pairs perfectly with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
