Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 45 minutes until they are deeply caramelized, soft, and dark brown. Reduce heat if they start to burn.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the caramelized onions cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooled onions, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Mix all ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and the dip is smooth.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve your homemade French onion dip cold with your favorite chips or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- For the best flavor, allow the dip to chill for several hours; this deepens the savory taste.
- If you are short on time, you can use a slow cooker on low for 4 to 6 hours to caramelize the onions.
- Use full-fat dairy products for the creamiest texture.
