Caramelizing onions is one of those kitchen skills that seems hard, but is actually super easy. All you need is some butter, some onions, and some time. And maybe a glass of wine to sip while you stir. The result is a sweet, jammy, and slightly caramelized onion mixture that will make your taste buds sing.
To make this dip even more decadent, we're going to add some cream cheese & sour cream. It makes the dip extra creamy and thick, and balances out the sweetness of the onions.
Whatever you do, don't skimp on the onions. They are the star of this show, and they deserve to shine. This dip is guaranteed to be a hit at any party, whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, or Super Bowl Sunday.
