Method
 

Caramelize Onions
  1. Slice the onions thinly and melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping up any browned bits, then remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare Dip Base
  1. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Mix until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps from the cream cheese.
Combine and Serve
  1. Fold the cooled caramelized onions into the sour cream mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped chives and serve with potato chips or other preferred dippers.
