The key to caramelizing the onions is to heat on high and to let the onions get almost burned. Adding the water will release the sugars and create a sweet caramelized onion base.

Directions
| Step 1 | |
 Heat medium frying pan with oil on high until hot. | |
| Step 2 | |
 Add diced yellow onions and spread out in the pan. Leave in the pan for 3 minutes without moving them. Don't worry, they will get a little dark, that's what you want. After 3 minutes, stir and cook for another minute letting the onions get mostly browned. | |
| Step 3 | |
 Add 1/4 cup of water to the onions and cook until water is absorbed. | |
| Step 4 | |
 Add remaining 1/4 cup of water and cook until the water is absorbed. | |
| Step 5 | |
 Remove from heat and stir in green onions. The onions will start to wilt. Let cool on stove for about 15 minutes. | |
| Step 6 | |
 In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, Hidden Valley Ranch Dip, and Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce. Use 2 Tablespoons of the Tabasco Chipotle Pepper sauce if you don't want it too spicy, or up to 4 Tablespoons if you like it spicy. | |
| Step 7 | |
 Add the onion mixture to the sour cream mixture and combine well. | |
| Step 8 | |
 Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This dip can be made a day in advance and is great with chips or vegetables. | |
