5 ONION DIP RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions, red onion, Vidalia onion, white onion and brown sugar and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar and Worcestershire and continue cooking until the onions are very soft and a caramel color, another 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese until it is melted into the onions. Remove the mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise and chives. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish and top with the Parmesan. Bake until golden and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with crostini or crudites.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high until butter melts. Add sweet onion, yellow onion, red onion, shallots, and salt; cook, stirring occasionally and folding onions into each other, until barely softened and just starting to brown, about 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized, about 35 minutes, adding scallions halfway through cook time. If onions start to stick to skillet or brown too quickly, add a splash of water to skillet. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and place cream cheese on top; let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Stir onion mixture until cream cheese is fully incorporated. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and cayenne to onion mixture; stir well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and chill at least 3 hours or up to 8 hours or overnight.
• Let dip stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Serve with potato chips, toasted bread, and seasonal vegetables.
