This caramelized white bean dip can be used for game days or for a fancy party as an appetizer. The caramelized onions add a sweetness to the classic onion dip. This recipe uses just a few simple ingredients you may already have in your pantry.
Add a hefty helping of protein with this bean dip. Serve with your favorite foods such as carrots, celery, grape tomatoes, crackers or chips. I like to serve this with the warm caramelized onions on top but mixing in the onions would be equally tasty.

Notes
I prefer to caramelize my onions in a small slow cooker overnight on low for 8 hours. I don’t have much patience for stovetop onions. This is a great alternative for you.
