In a medium saucepan, on medium-low heat, melt the butter and add the onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder and sugar. Slowly saute the onions and spices for 15 minutes or until they are very soft and golden brown. Make sure to give them a stir every couple minutes to prevent burning.
In a medium bowl whisk together the sour cream, mayo, dried parsley and onion powder until smooth and completely combined. Set aside.
Once your onions have cooked, remove them from the heat and place them on a paper towel lined plate to cool and absorb any excess butter before adding them to your sourcream mixture.
Once your onions have cooled you can add them to your sourcream mixture making sure to stir them in well. Cover your french onion dip bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a minimum of 2 hours or up to overnight.

Storage:

To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Be sure to give your dip a stir before serving it again.
To Freeze: This dip should not be frozen as it does not thaw well. It’s best to make it fresh.

Tips:

This French Onion Dip is great served with plain chips but can also be served with a tray of raw veggies for a healthier option.
This dip has a great onion flavor that is not overpowering, however if you prefer a really strong French Onion dip then you can double the amount of sauteed onions and follow the rest of the recipe as is. Just remember your cooking time may increase due to the extra onions. The same goes if you want a more mild onion flavor, just reduce your onions to a ½ cup.
I made this dip using standard mayo and full fat sour cream. Feel free to use your preferred mayo of choice and a low-fat sour cream. Just remember that the flavors and texture may vary if you do substitute these ingredients.
