Notes
Notes
The longer the onions caramelize, the deeper the flavor of the dip will be.
This dip can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
Full-fat dairy ingredients provide the best texture and flavor.
Tips and Tricks
Use a cast iron skillet for the best caramelization and even cooking.
Stir the onions occasionally but not constantly so they can properly brown.
Allow the cream cheese to fully soften before mixing for a smoother dip.
Serve with sturdy kettle-style chips that can hold up to thick scoops of dip.
Add crispy bacon or diced jalapeños for easy flavor variations.
