CARAMELIZED ONION DIP

In a large skillet over low heat, add the olive oil and onion slices. Cook stirring occasionally until onions have completely softened and started to turn a light brown. This will take 30+ minutes. Once caramelized, let the onions cool completely.
Meanwhile in a food processor add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and pulse to combine. Add cooled onions and mix again until combined—lastly pulse in the chives.
The dip can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
