Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter

Optional

Instructions
Cook the onions
- Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven.
- Add the onions and salt and cook on medium low, stirring often, until the onions are browned and soft. This should take about 15 minutes.

- Taste for seasoning and adjust to your tastes.
Chill (the dip AND you)
- Chill for 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to develop fully.

- Serve with potato chips, crackers, veggies, or even as a spread for sandwiches or burgers.

Notes
- Don’t be tempted to use a high heat. We are looking for soft, brown onions, not crispy onions.
- Seasonings. I use garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt and pepper. Worcestershire sauce is often used, add a dash if you'd like, but go easy on the seasoned salt if you do. You can also use kosher salt in place of the seasoned salt.
