Ingredients

1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
2 large yellow Onions about 2.5 cups finely diced
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup Sour Cream
4 oz. Cream Cheese cut into cubes

Instructions

Take out the cream cheese and let it soften while you caramelized the onions.
Add butter, olive oil, and onions to a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Toss to combine and heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add soy sauce, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, and thyme. Reduce heat to low.
Cover partially and cook for 20-25 minutes, until caramelized. Stir every few minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Combine the cream cheese with sour cream (and/or mayo). Add caramelized onions. If possible, refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to serving.

Notes

This recipe makes 1 ¾ cups.
A combination of mayo and sour cream can be used.

Baked Version (with Cheese):

Once the onions are caramelized, remove from heat and add cream cheese and sour cream.
Add 3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese along with 1 cup of shredded gruyere or mozzarella cheese.
Top with an additional 1 cup of cheese.
Bake in a cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish 375° for 15 minutes, uncovered.
You may choose to broil it at 450° for up to 5 minutes at the end for a brown top.
