Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. Transfer the onion mixture to a bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives until smooth.
  7. Fold in the cooled caramelized onions, mixing gently to maintain texture.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and optional Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder to taste.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, caramelize the onions longer at a lower temperature.
  • This dip tastes even better the day after making it, as the flavors continue to develop overnight.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
