This week is what I consider the real kick off to the holiday season. I know, I know- technically it's Halloween, but for me this is when the real madness starts!
With all the entertaining, I always struggle with what to serve or bring along. When I tasted this dip at a friend's party I immediately knew it would be part of my repertoire. It's "get in ma belly!" kind of good!
We've all made the classic French Onion Dip with the powdered soup mix, but after tasting this you will NEVER use a mix again! The ingredients list is super simple- you probably have most of it on hand but it's not a last minute recipe. The prep is easy but it is a little time consuming cooking down the onions.
It's equally delicious with chips, pita, veggies, or potatoes. Personally, I like it with good ol' salty Ruffles. I would definitely suggest planning ahead and making it the night before you need it. Or at the very least, give it a couple of hours to let the flavours combine. I'm completely addicted! It may have been my dinner last night...
Enjoy!

You'll need:
2-3 Onions (I happened to have 3 white ones on hand)
1 Cup Mayo
11/2 Cups Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
Garlic Powder
Pepper ( I used a mix of black and white, but what ever you have will work!)
Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Low sodium Worcestershire Sauce- this is one of my favorite ingredients to add in. I use it in almost everything! It's just the most perfect savory seasoning.
Slice onions (I just happened to have white onions on hand) into thin rings then slice in quarters (or chop if you prefer smaller pieces)
Add 2-3 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil to a skillet and let it warm. Then add the onions to the warm oil. Toss in a dash (that's a measurement, right??) of Kosher Salt and Black Pepper, a smidge (another commonly used measurement) of Cayenne Pepper, and a couple of splashes of Worchererererrrrr Sauce (I swear I can never pronounce that!) My Mother in Law always adds Black Pepper and Cayenne to her onions while cooking so it's something I do now too. At this point, your kitchen will start to smell amazing.
Cover the pan and cook the onions on Med/Low or Low heat for 45-60 minutes. I like to really take my time cooking these down.
Have a glass of wine. This is technically not part of the recipe, but I find it helps just about everything...
While the onions are cooking, mix 1 Cup of Mayo with 1 1/2 Cups of Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream, 1 Tsp of Pepper, and 1 Tsp of Garlic Powder.
When the onions are done, they'll look something like this. At this point, your kitchen will smell completely amazing!
Add cooled onions into the dip mixture.
Chill at least 2 hours then enjoy! I hope you all love this as much as I do.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
