4 tbsp butter

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

8 oz (or 1 cup) cream cheese

1 cup sour cream

Cut the onions in half, and then slice them into 1/8" half rounds. (about 3cups of onions). Heat the butter and oil in a large sauté' pan on medium heat. Add the onions, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper and sauté for at least 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally for 20 more minutes, until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow onions to cool.  Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well.
