Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 Vidalia onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings (about 4 cups)
2 large shallots, sliced into 1/8-inch rings (about 1/2 cup)
2 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large saute pan over medium high heat, add oil and butter. When butter is melted, add onions and saute stirring occasionally until golden brown and caramelized, about 35 minutes. Add shallots and saute for 15 minutes more until onions and shallots are dark brown. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 to 6 minutes, then chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Fold in onion mixture. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight, prior to serving.

Cook's Note: Dip can be pureed until creamy. If too thick, add milk to get desired consistency.

Delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dip yesterday in anticipation for today's superbowl party. I used a fat free sour cream and my husband picked out... a full fat mayonnaise. Once it was done and before refrigerating, I was a little worried that the mayonnaise taste would overpower the whole dip, but after taking it out of the fridge today and mixing it up a little, I'm extremely pleased and it's delicious!!!! Excellent dip and I'm glad I let it chill overnight. Read more

I have tried many onion dip recipes and this one is easy and tastes Great! I added a little thyme (my favorite herb) It... doesn?t need to be made a day in advance to taste good, just a few hours. Read more

best dip, bar none
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dip and was skeptical. It was out of this world. I continue to make for all occasions. The test is going to be... the super bowl tomorrow.Read more

Disappointing

Sorry, I usually love Guy's recipes, but this was disappointing at best.

Make one or two days ahead of time
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

GREAT dip! And tastes even better when you make it a day or two in advance! Only thing I would change is to season the onions... when you saute them (not too much though).Read more

Crack dip
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It's addictive -- you cannot stop eating this dip and you will never buy store bought onion dip again.
