3. In the medium bowl, combine the sour cream and the cream cheese. Beat until smooth. Stir in the cooked onions will all the juices.
4. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.

Variations
Substitute Greek yogurt for the cream cheese. The end result will not be as thick, but will still be rich with flavor.
