Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Salted Butter
  • 3 large Sweet White Onions halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp. Fine Sea Salt plus more to taste
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp. Onion Powder
  • tsp. Garlic Powder optional
  • Pepper optional, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter. Once the butter has melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the onions and fine sea salt, turn the heat down to medium-low, and cook for about 30 minutes to 1 hour (or until they have caramelized). Stir them every now and then, and add a Tablespoon or two of water if they ever look like they are drying out. This process takes a little patience. You can cook it on a higher temperature if you’re really pressed for time, but the flavor won’t be as good. If you have the time I highly recommend cooking it low and slow.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, remove the pan from the heat, and let them rest for about 15 minutes, or until they’ve cooled slightly.
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, and caramelized onions. Mix everything together.
