Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 medium yellow onions, diced
  • ½ cup Lagunitas IPA
  • ½ cup mayo
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy and chopped 
  • ¼ cup Jarlsberg cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup Gruyere cheese, grated
  • Chips or bread

Directions

Combine the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the brown sugar and salt. Add onions, and sauté on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Bring the heat to low and caramelize the onions for approximately 30 minutes. Once the onions have begun to brown, add Lagunitas IPA and bring the heat back to medium-high. Cook until the beer has cooked out and reduced and all you have left are the caramelized onions. This will take 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. 

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a medium bowl, stir together the mayo, cream cheese, sour cream, bacon, a dash of salt and pepper and cheese. Reserve about 1 ounce of cheese to sprinkle on top. Add the caramelized onions to the mixture and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish, and smooth to even out. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and just beginning to brown. Drink the remaining Lagunitas IPA –never waste the good stuff! Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite chips or crusty bread.
