Ale Double Onion Dipper

No one can resist a good chip dip. Remember that easy-to-make guilty pleasure onion chip dip made from sour cream and onion soup mix? This version takes a little bit more effort, but the rich flavours from the caramelized onions and the pale ale take it up a notch and are well worth it.  Makes about 3 ½ cups.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sweet onions chopped
  • 1 cup 14% sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in skillet. Add onions, and cook until they start to soften, then reduce heat to low, and caramelize onions until golden brown, but not crispy (15–18 minutes total). Set on a paper towel to drain some of the excess oil.
