Method
- Add sliced onions, 3 tablespoon olive oil or butter, and salt to a saute pan over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Lower heat to medium/low and saute for 25 more minutes. *If the onions are browning too quickly, turn down the heat. We don't want burnt onions.
- While waiting for the onions, mix together the sour cream, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, onion powder, salt, & chives in a large bowl and set aside. *Using a hand mixer will help cream the cream cheese better. Otherwise a silicone spatula works too.
- Once the onions are caramelized and slightly cooled, add them to the mixing bowl and mix using a spoon until incorporated.*Optional- mix in a teaspoon of sugar or honey for a sweeter dip. (So delish!)
- Transfer dip to a small dip bowl and serve with Fritos corn chips, tostitos, potato chips, pita bread, bell peppers, celery, or carrot sticks!
Notes
This dip can be made 3-4 days in advance! Just chill in the fridge in a sealed container and allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
Variations/Substitutions
This dip is versatile as you can swap out a few ingredients to make it how you like it. Some of my recommended swaps are:
- Swap chopped chives with scallions, thyme, or parsley
- Use a spicier hot sauce if you like more heat
- Add butter or less hot sauce if you want to dial down the heat
- Mix in shredded cheddar or Moneterey jack cheese
- Add sliced garlic to your onions for a caramelized garlic flavor
