Ingredients

2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter

4 medium (4 cups) onions, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

4 ounces (1 cup) Land O Lakes® Sharp White Cheddar Cheese Chunk, shredded, divided

¹/₄ cup sour cream

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

¹/₈ teaspoon pepper

1 oz (2 tablespoons) Land O Lakes® Aged Italian Blend Fine Cut Shredded Cheese

Chopped fresh chives, as desired for garnish

How to make

STEP 1

Melt butter in large sauté pan over medium heat; add onions and salt. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, 35-45 minutes or until onions are deep golden and caramelized, being careful not to burn them. (You may need to add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if onions become too dry.) Remove pan from heat.
STEP 2

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix cream cheese, 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese and sour cream until fully combined.
STEP 3

Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 4

Stir Worcestershire sauce, thyme and pepper into caramelized onions to deglaze pan. Add onions to cheese mixture; stir to combine. Transfer to baking dish; top with remaning Cheddar and Aged Italian cheese.
STEP 5

Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is bubbling lightly around edges. Garnish with chopped chives.

Tip #1

If desired, broil this dip after baking for 1-2 additional minutes for deeper golden crust.

Tip #2

Serve this dip with a crusty baguette or your preferred cracker.

Tip #3

Use any leftover dip as a sandwich spread for a roast beef sandwich or a burger topper.

Tip #4

Since the onions take a considerable time to caramelize, try making a double or triple batch, then cool and freeze the extra amount for future recipes.
