Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 large yellow onions thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sour cream full-fat recommended
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir to coat with butter.
- Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized, about 45 to 60 minutes. Add a splash of water if they start to stick.
- Halfway through cooking, stir in the sugar and salt to enhance caramelization and soften the onions.
- Remove the caramelized onions from heat and let them cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and celery salt.
- Fold in the cooled onions and mix well. If desired, stir in grated Gruyère cheese for extra richness.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled with potato chips, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For best results, make this dip at least 4 hours ahead or overnight. It tastes even better the next day!
