INSTRUCTIONS:
list of 3 items
1. Caramelize the onions: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and
pepper. Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown. If the onions start to stick
or brown too quickly, lower the heat and add a splash of water. Once caramelized, remove from heat and let them cool.
2. Make the dip: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon
of salt. Stir in the cooled caramelized onions.
3. Chill and serve: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, garnish with freshly chopped chives.
