This recipe is almost an exact COPY of an Alton Brown recipe, except that there is a higher mayo to sour cream ratio in this one. His version is wonderful; this one has WAY too much mayo. I don't think recipes copies from the Food Network deserve 5 stars.

FABULOUS. It was all gone in 1 night. Made exactly as directed and it was not too mayonaise flavored as some suggested. I had no problem browning the onion in 20 mins, probably because i did not use a non-stick pan. I think the non-stick pans don't brown as well as a good non-coated pan. i had no problem cleaing the pan afterwards either, because i kept stirring the onions and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula. Definite make again :)

I used 1.5 cups of sour cream and .5 cups of mayo, and 2 cups of onion-it was excellent! I almost ate the whole thing myself. =)

The reason why I gave this a 3 is because I wasn't sure that if I completely add no mayo or sour creme that it would change the taste of the dip. I'm going to try it this time with 1/2 cup of mayo and sour creme. Great recipe though!

I thought that there was too much mayo. This recipe is a replica of a recipe from another website, but with altered portions of sour cream, garlic and mayo. I have tried again with the 1/2 tsp garlic powder from this recipe and mix of 1 1/2 cups sour cream, 3/4 cup of mayo from original recipe. Also added a splash of Worcestershire Sauce instead of the 1/2 tsp of Kosher Salt. Very tasty.

Very YUMMY! I made this in a rush, put the onions in the freezer to cool and served it asap, very delicious! I used more sour cream than mayo like another reviewer said and used lowfat mayo. No more boxed stuff!!!

I used 2 1/2 cups of yogurt cheese instead of sour cream. You make it by using a large coffee filter to drain off the whey from plain yogurt. It takes 8-10 hours to make. However it is much better for you than sour cream and tastes the same. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder and 1 teaspoon dried chopped chives. It was great.

Easy to make and yummy. I had never though about making my own onion dip before...I usually buy the powdered mix. This is much better, and got lots of compliments at the cookout I took it to. My house smelled like onions for a few days though.

Everyone at the party LOVED this dip! You have to really like onions to like it but then, why would you make an onion dip if you are not an onion fan? I use all sour cream, no mayo. I just don't like mayo.

Delicious!!! This was so good. I did use 1 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayo as a personal preference. Added a clove of minced garlic at the end of the saute. There is just no reason to buy the store bought stuff--there's no comparison!

Good! I used leftover roasted onions from a different AR recipe. This makes about two cups of dip. Next time I'll reduce the recipe by half as it made too much.

I've made this recipe 3 times so far and each time it's the first thing gone on the table! Here are a few things I do different. First it takes alot longer to caramelize the onions then it says, I did it low and slow for about 45 min. I used alot less mayo as I felt it overpowered a little (I used just 1/4 cup instead of half). I also upped the amount of onions to just about 2 cups and added a few dashes of worchestershire sauce. You really do have to let it sit overnight to really get the full effect but I'll never buy store dip again, its a little time consuming but VERY easy and the taste is out of this world

Very, very good. I upped the garlic powder and sprinkled chopped green onions on top. Let this sit overnight and let the flavors meld. I served this with Stacy's Naked Pita Chips and melba toast.

I used Spike, a seasoning salt rather than the kosher salt. It really takes a few hours for the flavors to develop! This is better with chips than with veggies.

Okay, it's been in the fridge 2 hours. I followed the directions except I used 2 cups of onion instead of 1 1/2. I think next time I will use LESS mayo (1/3 cup instead of 1/2 a cup) because the mayo taste is a little strong. It also needs more of an onion taste to it. Maybe onion powder would work, but probably chives would do very well. Oveall, however, it is a nice tasting dip.
