I make this dip once a year, for the super bowl. Incredibly intense and sweet onion flavor, with just the right amount of sour cream. So good, it is life changing.

Tips
The longer and slower you cook the onions the more flavorful they will be. You can decrease the time by increasing the heat and still get great results but maybe not as great as they could be. It typically takes 4 hours for me to cook these, with higher heat, I have done it in an hour. If you do go for a higher heat, make sure you stir more often because if you don’t you’ll risk burning the onions.
