Caramelized Onion Dip

Years and years ago I found this amazing recipe from Ina Garten, without a doubt the queen of entertaining.  I've used it ever since and haven't found a better recipe.  This is the bomb!


2 large yellow onions
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 C. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 C. sour cream
1/2 C. mayonnaise


Cut the onions in half and then slice them into 1/8-inch thick half-rounds. (You will have about 3 cups of onions.)

Heat the butter and oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt, and pepper and sauté for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.

Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature and Enjoy!
