Caramelized Onion Dip
I can’t believe making caramelized onion dip has taken me so long. It tastes a million times better than store-bought and it’s so easy to make. We were having friends over for dinner so I decided to make some dip to serve before dinner. The caramelized onions took about 30 minutes to cook and smelled amazing! I used a combination of mayonnaise, cream cheese, and sour cream for a nice tangy base. I seasoned the dip with a bit of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh parsley. This caramelized onion dip was served with ruffled potato chips and enjoyed by all – even my son who doesn’t like onions.
Caramelized Onion Dip
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 small onions diced
- Splash of wine, then water as needed
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- Fresh parsley chopped, to taste
- Soy sauce to taste
- Worcestershire sauce to taste
How to Make Caramelized Onion Dip
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions once the butter has melted; stir often.
Once the skillet is getting dry, add a bit of white wine, stir then let it sizzle out. Stir the onions often, adding a tablespoon of water to keep the pan from drying out as needed, until the onions are caramelized and deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream together in a bowl. Add the cooled onions and fresh parsley then stir to combine. Season with a bit of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Set aside to allow flavors to mingle for 30 minutes. Serve with thick ruffled chips. Enjoy.

Irresistible! I just can’t resist caramelized onions.
Bet it is delicious make with fresh onions. Perfect for football season.
Sounds wonderful! Because who doesn’t love a good dip with chips or crackers?
The storebought onion dip packets are one of my guiltiest pleasures in life reserved only for when my MIL pulls them out (as she always does) when we come over. Thankfully, that is not often. But I love that it’s so easy to make at home!
i remember buying french onion dip as a college kid and loving it, but this sounds so much better! thanks for the reminder!
