Try this onion dip for your New Year's get-together...A great change from the onion soup mix recipe...sweeter and milder.. serve it with a sturdy chip or flatbread crackers.

2 large onions, thinly sliced
3 Tbl butter
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1  1/2 cups sour cream
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder or granulated garlic

Saute the onions in the butter on medium heat until they caramelize ( about 15 to 20 minutes).  Cool and chop them and then thoroughly combine them with the remaining ingredients.  Refrigerate for a few hours ( or overnight) to let the flavors blend.  Serve with chips or crackers at room temperature.
