## Instructions

### 1. Caramelize the onions

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are soft, golden, and caramelized — about 25–30 minutes. Patience here pays off with rich flavor!

### 2. Mix the dip

In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the caramelized onions once cooled slightly.

### 3. Bake to perfection

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.

### 4. Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with fresh chives or green onions if desired. Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies.
