There’s something about the combination of sweet caramelized onions and tart sour cream that really does it for us.

Everyone should have a good French onion dip recipe in their back pocket and this one is very good. With a few other pantry staples, this French onion dip gives that tangy, deeply savory flavor you know and love. It's perfect as a make-ahead to snack on through the week, or something easy to throw together for a last-minute party. Caramelizing the onions takes a little time and effort, but otherwise, the dish comes together in a flash. Pair with some classic potato chips and crunchy veggies like carrots, celery and radishes.

Ingredients

- 2 sweet onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 dashes hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chives, garnish
- Dill, garnish

Instructions

step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add in butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add onions and season with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir to coat and cook over low heat (about 25 minutes), adding more oil to the pan if it gets dry. Add the minced garlic and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and allow to cool down.

step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, add sour cream and mayonnaise, and stir to combine. Add in Worcestershire, hot sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Fold in caramelized onions and chives before seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for at least one hour but preferably overnight. Serve garnished with dill, chives and freshly cracked black pepper.
