Ingredients

▢ 8 ounces cream cheese - at room temperature
▢ ¾ cup sour cream
▢ ½ cup mayonnaise
▢ ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
▢ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
▢ 2 tablespoon butter
▢ 1 large Vidalia onion - (about 1 ½-2 cups) diced
▢ 2 cloves garlic - minced
▢ fresh chives - minced, to garnish

Instructions

In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Next, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper and mix until well combined. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter and add the diced onions.
Cook the onions low and slow over medium-low heat for approximately 30 minutes. This will allow the onions to caramelize and sweeten. Stir as needed to prevent burning. At the very end, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Remove from heat and let the onions cool completely. Once at room temperature, add them to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and black pepper, to taste.
Garnish with freshly minced chives and serve with potato chips, carrot sticks, or celery if desired.

Notes

The onions can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to mix and enjoy.
Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
