Notes

• Cooking the onions slowly is key for developing a deep, sweet flavor without burning them.
• The dip can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated to allow flavors to meld even more.
• For a vegan version, substitute sour cream and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives, and use soy sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce.
• Adjust the amount of garlic and sauces to taste for personal preference.
• This dip pairs excellently with crispy potato chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh crudités.
