By jkenb

Ingredients

• 5 medium onions, or 4 cups smoked onions (1 onion)
• 4 cups mayonnaise (1 cup mayonnaise)
• 2 cups sour cream (1/2 cup sour cream)
• 1 cup milk (1/4 cup milk)
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce)
• 2 tablespoons black pepper (1 tablespoon black pepper)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (1 teaspoon sugar)
• 1 tablespoon salt, plus more for seasoning (1 teaspoon salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (dash liquid smoke)

Preparation

Step 1

Soak the hickory chips in water for 30 minutes, and then drain. Place the soaked chips in a stovetop smoker or outdoor smoker over medium-high heat. Peel and quarter the onions and place in a perforated pan. Cover with tin foil, poke a few holes in it, place in the smoker, and smoke for 1 hour. Your onions should be soft and have a nice brown color. Tasting the onions for smoke flavor is the best way to check for doneness, not all smokers are the same. When the onions are smoked, transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Cool. Combine with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and taste for salt
