Author Notes
This dip is so rich and flavorful, the caramelized onions are amazing. I also added some chives for a bit of color. Adding thinly sliced green onion would also work. After you have sauteed the onions for the first 10 minutes, you could try adding 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh thyme and about a 1/2 cup of sherry, reduce the sherry and continue cooking until the onions are caramelized, cool and add to mixture of cream cheese and sour cream. Serve with some form of chip, like potato chips. —Katheryn's Kitchen
