Onion Dip

INGREDIENTS:

2 large onions

4 TBL unsalted butter

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. balsamic vinegar

4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature

1/2 cup mayo

1/2 cup sour cream

DIRECTIONS:

Cut onions in 1/8 inch slices (easiest if you have a mandolin slicer!) Makes about 3 cups.

Melt the butter and heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Add the onions, cayenne, pepper, and salt. Saute for about 10 minutes.

Reduce heat and cook until onions are browned and caramelized (about 20 minutes).

Add Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar and cook until mixed in.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo and sour cream. Add onion mixture.  Refrigerate overnight, allowing flavors to blend. Serve with potato chips- my favorites with it are kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips!!
