Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter

one large onion, sliced into slivers

salt and pepper

1 8-ounce bar of cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup sour cream

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are carmelized (half an hour or so). Let the onions cool. In a bowl, mix onions, cream cheese, sour cream, chives, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 pepper. Serve with chips. Note: This is better if made ahead and allowed to rest.
