Onion Dip

This is a Brown family favorite and tradition dating from the 1950's. It was a "required" dip for every Sunday Green Packer game and was served frequently throughout the rest of the year. It's simple to make, tasty, and quite possibly the best onion dip ever!

• 80z package Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 yellow onion
• 8oz Sour Cream
• Titch of salt

Using a fork, work a titch of salt into the cream cheese in a medium bowl. Using the second smallest graters of a 4-sided box grater, grate 1/2 - 2/3 of the onion into the cream cheese. Using another fork (or similar utensil), scape the onion from the inside of the grater and as much as possible from the grater tines. Mix the grated onion into the cream cheese until well incorporated. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Cover and chill for an hour or two to allow the flavors to incorporate, if you can wait that long!!

Variation
Stir in some ketchup until the mixture is a nice reddish color, then add a can of small shrimp, drained. This makes a nice variaiton to serve with crackers or Ruffles.
