Golden Goddess Caramelized Onion Dip

James loves onion dip like a fat girl loves an all you can eat buffet, and that's a lot!

We make an awesome onion dip with chopped olives that sounds foul but is really so good! While stalking Pinterest I found a yummy recipe for a caramelized onion dip. As soon as James saw the picture, he began whimpering, begging me to make it.

I'm a giver, you all know this so I agreed to chop TWO smelly onions to make this dip. I will admit, it's pretty good. If you like onion dip, try this. The prep is kind of a pain but its worth it and the longer it sits, the better it gets. 

What I also love about this is the Greek yogurt is very low in fat and high in protein, which makes this dip almost good for you, expect when you eat it with an entire bag of chips.

Going in the for the taste test....

Ahhh....the face of a satisfied customer. James owes me big time. 

Golden Goddess Caramelized Onion Dip

Adapted from: 101 Cookbooks

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp. butter
2 large yellow onions (about 1 1/2 pounds), finely chopped
3/4 cup sour cream (low-fat is fine if you like)
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat is fine if you like)
3 teaspoons onion powder (not onion salt)
1 tsp. salt

2 beef bullion cubes

1 tsp. hot water

1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce

In non-stick skillet over medium heat, saute the chopped onions in the olive oil and butter along with a couple pinches of salt. Stir occasionally with a wood or metal spatula and cook until the onions are deeply golden, brown, and caramelized - roughly 40 or 50 minutes. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.

In the meantime, whisk together the sour cream, yogurt, onion powder, and salt (adjust the salt/onion powder to taste). In a small bowl, combine the two bullion cubes and the water and microwave for about 30 seconds until the bullion cube is soft. Mash them up into a thick paste and add to the dip along with the Worchestershire sauce. Stir in 2/3 of the caramelized onions and top with the remaining onions.
