Chip Dip Recipe
Creamy Chip Dip loaded with real caramelized onions is exactly what your salty potato chips need. We skip the soup mix here and cook fresh yellow onions in butter and olive oil until they are soft and sweet. Combined with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and a creamy base, this dip is savory and totally addictive. It is thick enough to scoop without breaking your chips. Serve this at your next movie night or family gathering.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional

- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions and salt. Cook 10 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 20 to 30 minutes more, stirring often, until onions are deep golden. Add small splashes of water if onions stick.
- Transfer onions to a plate and cool 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Stir in sour cream and mayonnaise.
- Add pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.

- For a thinner dip, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk right before serving.
- For extra onion punch, add ½ teaspoon dried minced onion with the seasonings.
