Total Time1 Hour 40 Mins
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp bacon fat
- 2 onions, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices
- 3 tsp whiskey, divided
- 3 tbsp water, divided
- 1 cup organic sour cream
- 0.5 cup organic cream cheese
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt the bacon fat over medium-low heat.
- Add the onions to the hot fat and cook for 3 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break apart any onion pieces still sticking together and continue cooking the onions, stirring every few minutes, for 20 minutes.
- When the onions begin to get a little dry and stick to the skillet, stir in 1 teaspoon of whiskey. Alternate adding 1 teaspoon of whiskey and 1 tablespoon of water until you’ve used all the whiskey, then use water as needed.
- When the onions are soft, sweet, and very brown, transfer them to a bowl and refrigerate until cold.
- In a blender, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, salt, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and well mixed.
- Add the cold onions to the blender, and pulse to achieve your desired consistency. Transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir the dip just before serving.
