Step 1
Slice onions into thin half-moons, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foaming, ~1 minute.
Step 3
Add onions and stir to coat. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes until edges soften.
Step 4
Stir, then cook 8-10 more minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until onions are deep golden and tender.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Let cool for 2 minutes to prevent cream cheese from breaking.
Step 6
Fold sour cream and cream cheese into onions until no streaks remain.
Step 7
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature with crackers, chips, or bread.
