Ingredients
Caramelized Onions
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
Dip Base
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the thinly sliced onions. Cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become deeply golden and sweetly caramelized.

- Chill and Serve: Cover the dip and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold with veggie sticks or low-carb crackers for a delicious appetizer or snack.
