Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 large sweet onions
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • A few cracks black pepper
  • 4 slices bacon, diced into small pieces
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Chips, crackers or veggies for serving

Instructions

  • Cut the ends of the onions and peel off outer skin. Cut onions in half, lengthwise, then cut thinly into half moon shapes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onions and stir to coat in butter. Cook, stirring every few minutes. After 10 minutes, add the salt and pepper. Continue cooking the onions, stirring once they start to stick and brown (don't let them burn). If the onions are starting to burn quickly, lower the heat to medium low. Cook for a total of 30 minutes to an hour (I cooked mine for about 45 minutes). Remove from pan and allow to cool.
  • In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
  • In a bowl, thoroughly combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream. Fold in the caramelized onions and bacon. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
