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.

This dip was delicious. I had made it for the Super Bowl and loved it very much. Although I didn't have enough sour cream, I added some greek yogurt instead since that was the closest thing we had.

I also chopped the onions and carmelized them the usual way. I substituted garlic for the shallots and used beef bullion in place of celery salt. It was very good. This recipie was very easy to make. It is similar to Lipton or any store bought french onion dip, only fresher with a nice Vidalia onion flavor. This recipie is also very forgiving. IF THE ONION FLAVOR TASTES TOO SWEET, ADD MORE SOUR CREAM & WORSTERSHIRE.

It's great. I improved it by sauteeing the onions in bacon fat. Then I served it with carrot stix for people who like to pretend they're eating healthy. And Ruffles for us real people. Everyone was happy.
