Caramelized Onions

1. Thinly slice the yellow onions. Add to a large skillet and place on the stove over medium-low heat with the butter.
2. Slowly saute for 45-60 minutes - stirring occasionally (every 5-10 minutes). Caramelizing onions takes a while - this is a process that should be done slowly over low heat so as not to burn. Keep an eye out on them as you stir. You will know when they are done when they have become soft, translucent,  caramelized brown in color, and smell very fragrant.
3. Remove from the heat when finished.

Bacon Bits

1. While the onions are cooking, prep the bacon.
2. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Remove when finished onto some paper towels to let cool.
3. Chop the cooked bacon into small bits and add to a large bowl.

Dip Assembly

1. To the large bowl the bacon is in, add the caramelized onions.
2. Add in the sour cream and the rest of the ingredients.  Stir to incorporate everything evenly.
3. Spoon into a serving bowl and serve immediately or chill until needed. Serve with kettle potato chips.
