1TbspShirley J Onion Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat & add onions. Season with a little salt & pepper (1/4 tsp each). Stir occasionally & add water as necessary to keep onions from burning. Cover with a lid in between stirring (maybe every 5 minutes.) Cook until onions have reduced & turn a deep caramel color, about 30-40 minutes.
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, & Shirley J Onion Seasoning. Add hot onions & mix on low until combined. Scrape into a 8"-9" round or square baking dish.
Bake at 425*F until the edges bubble & the top browns a little bit, about 10 minutes. Serve hot with bread, crackers, or chips.
