Instructions
Dice the onions, garlic, fresh dill, green onions, and chives. Set aside.
Cut the bacon into small bite-sized pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Drain excess grease and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and cook the sliced sweet onions on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the white wine vinegar and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes until onions are fully caramelized.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, and 8 oz of softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth.
Add the caramelized onions and cooked bacon to the creamy mixture. Stir to combine.
Fold in the fresh dill, green onions, and chives. Season with salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice if desired. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
For serving, garnish with extra chopped bacon and green onions. Serve with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
