Sweet Onion Dip

This onion dip is fantastic. I also found this recipe in the cooking blog world. The onions came out a little burnt when I made it, so make sure you caramelize the onions on a very low heat.

1 large sweet onion, chopped (I used Vidallia)
olive oil
1 package (8oz.) cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
dash garlic powder
kosher salt & black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 400.
Pour olive oil in a large skillet, enough to cover the bottom. Add the onions and cook on a medium-high heat until edges golden, 5-10 minutes. Turn heat to medium-low and continue cooking until caramelized, stirring often (30-40 minutes). Turn heat to very low and add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Remove from heat when all cheese is melted. Put mixture in 1 1/2 qt. baking dish and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve with crackers, pretzels, chips, or raw veggies.
